Happy Christmas Everybody

Posted on December 23, 2009 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

Dorrins and Cummeen Strand Conservation Group (DCCG) would like to wish all its members, friends and supporters a:

VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS

and

A HAPPY AND SAFE NEW YEAR

As we go into the Christmas / New Year holiday period we have been advised that An Bord Pleanala have decided to hold an “oral hearing” to determine the planning application by Sligo Airport to build a runway on Dorrins Strand.  This is good as we believe that we have right on our side and if given the opportunity to present our case we believe that our stand against building on Dorrins Strand will be vindicated.

The date of the oral hearing has not been notified to us as yet but in the normal course of events we would anticipate that the hearing will take place early in 2010.

So finally a big thank you to those members who worked so hard during the year and a big thank to members of the public who generously donated much needed funds and supported our various fund raising events. Thank you also to those members of the public who just gave us their morale support. In a struggle that has now lasted three years having the support from the public is so important.  Thank You.
