Jump To Comment: 1 2 3"a Referendum was organised in April in the town and the 43% of the people able to vote said no to the project"
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this mean 57% voted for it?
Sorry for the missunderstanding caused about the result of the referendum:
Correct figures are:
5445 people voted , 43% of the census
5352 votes were against the instalation of the plant , 98,3% of the votes
You can find Greenpeace´s coments about the Referendum on following link:

You can find as well our organisation´s denounce about the european vison (Mustela Lutreola) , about the ilegality of the project from urbanistic point of view and others in following links:

I want to take advantage once again , please , to ask for help to anybody who can be interested to denounce in Ireland which are ESB´s performance and projects abroad Ireland.And also if could give us any contact so we can visit Ireland to give publicity to our work against this injustice.
Thank you very much , receive a hug from Basque Country
