I, one of the organisers, am writing to let you know about an information evening for the residents of the area taking place in the old school across the road from the church. The day is this friday, 7th August and the time is 8pm. We would like to get plenty of people at it so they know what is going to happen before it does, who we are, what the camp would be like, and also to take the opportunity to make a personal invitation to visit, learn, teach, participate or help out at the camp. We have put up posters that you might notice. http://shannonbridge.blogspot.com/2009/08/climate-camp-in-shannonbridge.html Earlier mentions: Sunday, August 23, 2009 All the week the Climate Change group have been encamped in a field near the power plant. Yesterday they held another march through Shannonbridge shouting slogans.The one I heard them chanting was "We Have A Protest". They appeared to cause no trouble but there were a big turn out of Gardai and police cars. At one stage some of the protesters climbed on top of some parked wagons of Milled Peat. A Garda asked one of the Shannonbridge people what he thought should be done. He said that the power plant should be knocked and a nuclear power plant be built in its place. One of the protesters said that there was a shortage of uranium and he would not agree with a nuclear plant.The Shannonbridge man said there was plenty of uranium, it was all hidden beneath the bogs. When the bogs were all used up the uranium would be found. The good breeze was blowing from the east on Saturday. 20th August 2009 The Climate Change week focused all this week on Shannonbridge by the eco friendly group is picking up the attention of TV, Radio and Press that they desire. This week the Midland Tribune gives them front page coverage and they got mention on Pat Kenny's Show on radio and got a slot on Wednesday TV news. The Swedish couple that arrived yesterday have pitched their tent with Climate Change.
