Save Ballyness Bay campaign hits the road

written by Rachel McLaughlin February 7, 2020

The ‘Save Ballyness Bay’ campaign has gained a new level of prominence following the launch of a large bus display.

Gortahork-based bus company Mangan Tours has unveiled a new poster on the back of one of their newest vehicles, drawing the public’s attention to the campaign across the roads of Donegal.

The poster directs people to view a petition, which has over 9,500 signatures, calling on Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Michael Creed to stop proposed shellfish production at Ballyness Bay in Falcarragh.

Members of the local community have been outraged by the granting of 14 aquaculture licences to create clam and oyster farms in the area. Locals have labelled the industry plans as an attack on the scenic environment and they fear the development would harm tourism.

The new bus poster campaign has boosted the group as they hope the message will generate thousands more supporters for the Save Ballyness Bay protest.

Local campaigner Robert Wasson said: “This further demonstrates the support of a local tourism – related business for the opposition to siting aquaculture farms on an industrial scale in Ballyness Bay.

“The threat to tourism in the Cloughaneely area and to the local environment is recognised and reinforced with this latest strategy taken by the innovative Save Ballyness Bay committee who are challenging the decision by Minister Michael Creed to grant multiple licences in spite of widespread outrage.”

Mr Wasson said the reaction to the new bus display is already very encouraging, and the issue should not be ignored by politicians.
