At the reopening of the Public Inquiry in Omagh today, standing with Save Our Sperrins and local campaigners.
The risks to our environment and water are too high.
This goldmine would directly impact my respiratory health.

#Gold greed tears people and communities apart. Our constant focus on an unsustainable extractivist economy and lifestyles will be the death of us. #community #pinemartens #otters #water #saveoursperrins #freshwaterpearlmussels #sperrins www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
Dalradian is no Trump when it comes to mining in Northern Ireland
Great piece by Ciaran McClean in @thecanaryuk.bsky.social about Dalradian goldmine in Greencastle.

On 16 October, I'll present my report on HRDs working on climate change at #UNGA80. In the lead up, I'm sharing a guest blog by grassroots group #SaveOurSperrins, on their work to protect the land from the negative impacts of gold mining.

#SaveOurSperrins You’ll have this @pilsni.bsky.social, but jic, another recent and major example of why not to trust mining companies: bsky.app/profile/apne...
"Campaigners from #SaveOurSperrins lodged an application for leave to apply for a #JudicialReview of the decision to grant the 7 licences ahead of Friday's deadline."
📰Louise Cullen's article outlines why SOS felt they were left w/ no choice but to issue proceedings:

UPDATE: "...the 4 voluntary environmental protectors feel they have no choice but to get on with it & lodge the judicial review on Friday 8th August."

A composite image with three sections. The top section shows a group of protesters holding banners and placards, including a large blue and yellow sign reading “SAVE LOUGH NEAGH” and other signs with environmental messages. The middle section features bold text: “NO GOLD NO POISON” in yellow and red, with a subheading in white and green stating, “Greens defend water quality and demand transparency & accessibility in the public inquiry.” The bottom section displays large white letters on a riverside barrier spelling out “NO TO TOXIC MINING.” At the very bottom, there is a web address: “https://greenpartyni.org/join”.
We pay credit to campaign groups like Save Our Sperrins who are fighting this through the public inquiry & demand that accessibility & transparency concerns are rectified with immediate effect.

An information board Davagh Forest in Mid-Ulster explaining who Ceoldân the Stargazer - Discover the Giants. It shows a map of the Sperrins, locating the three giants. There is a picture of the backs of two people approaching Ceoldân. One is a wheelchair user and that person is me!
My brother sent me this picture from Ceoldân the Stargazer this evening from Davagh Forest.
I did a photo shoot for Mid Ulster District Council a couple of years ago, but didn't know I was up there! 😆
I must visit again soon ♥️

Chronicles of the Sperrins.
Beautiful. And under threat.
Inform yourself of what could be lost if gold mining is allowed in the Sperrins.
#SaveOurSperrins

Tomorrow sees the launch of the public enquiry into goldmining in the Sperrins.
This is a really important moment in the battle for saving our environment and our beautiful countryside.
Keep an eye on this and lend any support you can.
