A quiet week -airport objections and an oral hearing

By last Tuesday Sligo County Council had received 221 objections to an application for planning permission for an extension to Sligo Airport’s runway at Strandhill, three times the number of objections that had been lodged against the airport’s previous application in March 2007. Objectors, who include shellfish farmers, local residents, Birdwatch Ireland, Keep Ireland Open and the Dorrins and Cummeen Strand Conservation Group (DCCG), claim the planned expansion will destroy Dorrins Strand. DCCG chairperson, John McDermott, welcomed public support for DCCG’s ‘highlighting the inherent dangers in a development of this scale on a public beach’. (Source: Sligo Weekender 16/9/08, p. 5)

Bord na Mona admitted the problem existed and has engaged a pesticide consultant to deal with it. Other criticisms aired at the hearing include doubts at Bord na Mona’s ability to manage odour abatement at the increased-capacity landfill, while extraction of gravel is alleged to have lowered the water table.
