Stunning views of the whole Kingdom of Iveagh from its ritual & inauguration centre, Knock Iveagh. You're now prevented from visiting & the hill is being UNLAWFULLY developed thanks to @deptinfra @JohnODowdSF @abcb_council & @CommunitiesNI 1/2 #saveknockiveagh

"Transparency and meaningful public participation in decision-making are vital and gaps in the current response are undermining public confidence in proposed solutions."
@EJNI_Online on criticisms aired again this week re: recent developments at L Neagh

Isn't it interesting/shameful that @AndrewMuirNI's review of environmental governance in NI doesn't appear to consider the Historic Environment? This, despite clear & devastating breaches of the EIA REGS. Why is our historic environment being ignored? #SAVEKNOCKIVEAGH
The EIA regulations exist to protect the environment, and our politicians just aren't doing this! @JohnODowdSF

I specifically referenced the @saveknockiveagh case and campaign at the Inquiry, and am content to advise that both the Commission and the DfI Representatives noted/acknowledged this - the matter of monitoring and enforcement is one that will undoubtedly re-appear in the process.
We want to thank @ColinSDLP & @BeattieDoug for their recent questions at Stormont concerning Knock Iveagh. Special thanks to the team at @SDLPlive for meeting with us recently & taking the time to understand the issues! Our campaign continues.
AMAZING to hear that @deptinfra told the PAC enquiry into gold mining they COULDN'T IMAGINE quibbling with a local authority over responsibility for a planning matter... Apparent amnesia re. their 7 year row with @abc_council over Knock Iveagh #systemfailni? #DUH @ShaunaReports

Good to hear Paul Gosling calling out the incompetence at @deptinfra on EIAs, roads & water on @StephenNolan. Like other environmental groups, we know that the competence & integrity just isn't there. It's as plain as an unlawful turbine on a ancient royal site. #saveknockiveagh
Not just Belfast... They've been ruining the SETTING of ancient monuments (even those protected by law!), for years. Utterly clueless. #systemfailni #saveknockiveagh
What is it with the planners in Belfast? We build two recognizable iconic structures, Waterfront Hall and Titanic, which send out positive messages about our recovery from years of destruction and then they are covered from view with artless blocks. Mad!! belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…
It's always darkest just before the dawn. Thank you to the land protectors who gathered in the darkness @ Knock Iveagh to watch the return of the Sun 🌞 Our campaign for justice & unrestricted access to this historic assembly place continues. Press release to follow. #Solstice
Where better to watch the Sun's journey through our mythical landscape than from Eochaid's cairn? #heartofcountydown #saveknockiveagh facebook.com/share/v/12DrEZd…

Thank you @ShaunaReports for covering this story more than any other journalist.
What a few years it's been and what an exceptional, caring and resolute community taking on government insanity and winning.

Colin Knock Iveagh is a hugely important place in Ulster & Ireland's archaeological & cultural heritage *within your area* yet you have never engaged with us at all over almost 5y. Please watch this video & help us realise a better future for this place. youtu.be/drTYCVpSXvg

Exactly who is protecting the environment from unlawful & damaging developments if not the planning system you oversee @JohnODowdSF? #heritage #environment #responsibility #eiaregs #environmentaljustice #saveknockiveagh

It's basic stuff really. Shouldn't be there. #saveknockiveagh #systemfailni
