Anti-fracking activists come together

The first national meeting of anti-fracking activists will take place this weekend, in the wake of a prediction by an Australian exploration firm that there is 40 years’ worth of gas in the North-West.

Environmentalists from Munster will travel to Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, to join protestors dealing with the most advanced fracking exploration effort in the country.

This week Tamboran Resources said with an investment of more than €6 billion, it can disrupt and harvest “tremendous” natural reserves in north Leitrim.
