Members of Love Leitrim welcome the passing of the legislative ban on fracking as it completed its final stage in the Seanad..
Love Leitrim was formed in late 2011 with the “purpose of preserving and promoting the quality of life in our part of the world” and stopping UGEE (unconventional gas exploration and extraction); the process commonly known as fracking.
The Bill prohibits fracking in the Irish onshore and its internal waters for both exploration and extraction. It will now be sent to the President to be signed into law.
In fairness.
