Bleach Lough Campaigners gone to Brussels

category limerick | environment | news report author Monday February 26, 2007 12:46author by Ken - Supporter

A number of people from Kildimo/Pallaskenry are off to Brussels today .

A group of protestors are in Brussels today to bring their case in front of the petitions commity in an effort to retain our local Natural Spring Water Supply. We have been campaigning for a very long time and will go on doing so until we ARE able to retain what we have had for hundreds of years. They will be meeting our MEP's and others while there and hopefully will get a good response from them. Early last year we had the Limerick County Council threatening to put our people in Prison for trying to protect what they believe is their right to protect under an EU Directive ' Water is not a commercial product but a heritage which must be protected, defended and valued'. We like pther people in a similar position have to do this in order to protect the future of their families and their communities. We hope that when they come back home tommorow that they will get more local support from our polliticians, remember the ellections guys and gals.

Watch this space.
