Do Irish people know that Ireland has been selected as a Green sacrifice song for the so-called green technology, renewable energy transition from the beautiful wilds of Clare, Wicklow and Leitrim to the outstanding natural beauty of the Sperrin mountains of Tyrone. Rural Ireland is on Big Mining's chopping block.
This podcast is about the power of community, about how communities of Ireland are organizing to stop this disaster happening. For short term returns, the government wants to sell iron to mining interests as silently and quietly as possible. Let's make some noises. We will try to unravel why the Irish government is doing this.

Ireland is the 13th worst country in the world for biodiversity. We are internationally recognized as an ecological desert. “Ireland is one of the worst places on the entire planet for nature,” according to author Eoghan Daltun. And the vast majority of the damage has been done in the last 50 years. Ireland has a legally binding target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 by 51%. It’s on course to get a 29% reduction. That’s 43% below target. Not to worry, we’re No 1 in the world for data center and mining-friendliness, which will increase pollution even more, with our “practical” environmental regulations and can-do, go-getter attitude.
In this episode, you’ll hear an overview of the mining situation in Ireland from Environmental Justice Network Ireland and the Yes to Life No to Mining representative, Lynda Sullivan. You’ll also hear from Jacintha van Roij, a founder member of Keep Tulla Untouched, a grassroots action group set up in response to the application and granting of a gold prospecting mining license for 52 townlands around Tulla, County Clare.
