ESB at odds with landowners over blame for peat instability
May 18, 2021
THE ESB has come under fire from land owners in South Galway following the erection of a sign near the entrance of Derrybrien Windfarm warning about the “risk of peat instability from peat harvesting”.
There are about 114 plots of land within the windfarm site boundary that many residents of Derrybrien and Killnadeema have been using through their lifetime for individual use as fuel.
The South Galway Flood Relief Committee has claimed the ESB has turned the tables on local communities, meaning that turf-cutting contractors will be the ones liable for peat destabilisation and not the company, by erecting this sign, which has effectively halted peat operations in the region.
‘Expand coercive control laws to cover all circumstances’
May 17, 2021
LAWS against coercive control need to be expanded to cover all circumstances where the abuse occurs, according to a South Galway mother-of-three who was subjected to a harrowing ordeal by a Kilrush man.
That’s the view of Sourney Linnane, who is delighted with the findings of a national survey of 1,000 Irish adults commissioned by Safeguarding Ireland and carried out by RED C.
Martin Mulqueen (53), Ballynote, Kilrush, but with an address in Bawn Street, Strokestown, Co Roscommon, was the third person to be jailed for coercive control in Ireland recently.
Mulqueen pleaded guilty during this trial to three sample charges, including coercive control, assault, and assault causing harm on dates between March and October 2019.
