Protesters vow to fight against fracking

An action group has warned a British energy firm the fracking of a natural gas field in Clare will not proceed — “not now, not ever”.

Róisín Ní Gháirbhith of Clare Fracking Concerned said: “What Enegi Oil need to realise is locals value their health, water, environment and, most of, all their children a lot more than any short term jobs or financial gains.”

London-based Enegi plans to apply within weeks for an exploration licence.
