A Call For Support

category limerick | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Wednesday June 07, 2006 03:03author by Seán Ryan and Orla Kaiser

Things have worsened in Pallaskenry and Kildimo.

Contractors arrive in the morning. People will move aside or else!!

Press Release.

Bleach Lough Water Retention Committee have been issued an ultimatum. Contractors will be arriving at 9.30am this morning to replace natural spring water with water from the river Deel. Limerick County Council has admitted that the river Deel is one of the most polluted rivers in Ireland. This will not deter them from demanding that the peoples of Pallaskenry and Kildimo accept this as their drinking water. We will fight this and we shall not allow contractors to cross the line.

You as a member of the Press are asked to witness this and to tell our story.

Donal O Brien.

The above was sent to most of the journalists in Ireland, and to many abroad. The people of County Limerick need our support.

This issue has malingered for nearly 15 years. Limerick County Council has never once offered a reason as to why these people are to be deprived of their clean and healthy spring water.

This is obviously not acceptable behaviour by public servants.

We shall name and shame each and every councillor that would put families and an ancient community at risk.

We guarantee seats will be lost.
