Third walk at Ringaskiddy this summer

Reclaiming the site. Restoring the Harbour?

Further update on the situation in Ringaskiddy, Cork Harbour regarding Indaver's proposed incinerators and action to remedy them

For the 3rd weekend in a row, 1st Aug.(This consistency is incredible), people visited Ringaskiddy to take positive action against Indaver's monster. We erected a wooden notice board, lovingly constructed by a local craftsman, next to the carpark. This will display information relevant to the situation as well as a map of the area showing the route of the footpath. Our work attracted some attention from visitors to the beach who were uniformly supportive when we explained what we were up to and why.
These walks are planned to continue every Sunday from 2.30pm for as long as it takes to act as consciousness and inspiration raising events for the anti-incinerator campaign. They are organised separately from CHASE and are open to all. Feel free to bring food, music, your friends and family.

There was a news article last week about a 600 milion Euro investment into the Ringaskiddy area. This is intended to be another factory owned by Johnson and Johnson. 600 jobs in the factory itself and 300 more construction jobs. It must be a good thing eh? Or so Mary Harney and the Chamber of Commerce seem to think. Unfortunately if it goes ahead it will add to the situation that makes us think we need toxic waste incinerators.
We have also heard rumours that the Spike Island prison, sited just across the water from our site is to be redeveloped to house 800 prisoners. The island is currently largely empty.
It's becoming clear to this chronicler that to really redeem this situation we need to get working on an alternative social and economic plan based on quality of life and long term social and ecological justice to displace the plan based on greed and self interest that our government and the corporations that control it seem to be determined to dump onto us. Small challenge there but if we don't take it up what will change?
