Ecological woodland ‘must be protected’ by ESB, says MEP

Sinn Féin’s Liadh Ní Riada has written to the ESB requesting a meeting to discuss management plans for the ecological woodland treasure, the Gearagh.

The Ireland South MEP has been a long-time advocate of the special area of conservation, near Macroom, in Co Cork.

“It’s a tremendously important ecological area, a stunning public amenity and an area of immense importance for research and study: everyone in our community has a duty to maintain and protect it,” she said.
