Solidarity!
this wasn't covered on the news. did they get jailed?
3 have had their charges dropped because they were unaware of the injunction and have given assurances that they will not breach the court order again, One woman's (Orla Kaiser) case is going forward as part of a judicial review to be heard on thursday and one person's case was not heard as he is seriously ill in hospital.
RTE news didn't mention anything about this case. on any of their 'news' programs (or whatever is left of them after their further transformation into a summer light entertainment station) Joe Duffy decided to concentrate on the plight of Concert Goers stuck in traffic after the Eagles Concert.
Limerick County Council are in breach of the EU Water Framework Directive which came into force in 2002. Two of its stated aims are : "To maintain the 'high status' of water where it exists."
and : "To prevent any deterioration in the existing status of water"
Note the word 'status' - this means more than just quality - it means the status of the water as both a habitat for wildlife and as a drinking water supply for humans.
- can we bring an injunction against them ? !
- We can certainly make them answer to the EU Commission.
Well done Orla and supporters !
