Dáil investigation of landslides needed, says ICMSA

A DÁIL Committee was asked yesterday to investigate the cause of the landslides that have damaged farmland, forestry and roads in Derrybrien, Co Galway.

The Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association (ICMSA) called on the Committee for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to establish the source of the problem and ascertain whether the public bodies, who authorised developments in the area, acted responsibly.

Thousands of tonnes of mud, water, trees and stones have moved off a local mountain on which an ESB subsidiary, Hibernian Wind Power, was constructing a wind farm.
