Welcome

Posted on July 27, 2009 | Filed Under Uncategorized

Welcome to Dorrins and Cummeen Strand Conservation Group (DCCG)

Thank you for visiting our site. Dorrins and Cummeen Strand Conservation Group (DCCG) is a group of people from Strandhill and the general Sligo area who are dedicated to conserving Dorrins Strand. At present this beautiful strand and magnificent wildlife habitat is under threat from development. Sligo Airport are currently seeking planning permission to build a runway of 285 meters long by 160 meters wide on the public beach. We are not anti development but we do believe there are some sacred parts of our landscape, our wildlife habitat and our environmental heritage that are worth fighting to preserve.

We would love to have your support. Currently we meet every second week in the back room of Kelly’s Bar, Strandhill.

Check out the ‘About’ or ‘Latest News’ tabs above for more / ongoing information about our campaign. You can post comments on the articles on the ‘Latest News’ page and we would be glad to hear your viewpoint
