Public meeting on the conservation of Dorrins Strand
March 1, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Over 40 people attended a public meeting tonight in strandhill to discuss the conservation of Dorrins Strand – the area of Sligo Bay in Strandhill, that will be directly affected by the proposed eastward extension of Sligo Regional Airport.
As with an initial meeting held in the first week in February, the discussion and input from the floor was passionate but reasonable; the common feeling was that the airport company have the requirement to extend the runway due to safety and legislative pressures, but also that the option chosen is a poor one. The consultants report in particular, has come in for some criticism.
Some key tasks will be carried out over the coming days – contact with local representatives, a petition distributed within the local community, as well as a meeting between the Airport company and representives from the conservation group.
