    If it was somewhere else, I would say great, but its only a few minutes away from me.

    So many questions;

    I am not on a flood plain, will I be now?
    Is this place going to be secure?
    They are not going to force us ot if we are too close?
    This might be a botch job, please refer to the Dublin Dock tunnell, (House are F**KED over tunnell, well so I heard???)

    Is contruction going to be loud?

    You see the problem is, there is very few if us out here, this mean they wont give a dam about us during construction.

    Can anyboy put me straight on what should I do now, to ensure my concerns are heard?

    In fact, I dont think we will be listened to at all, as there are so little of us and its destined to be a botched job.

    I would start with your local TD and county council planning board.

    Also the port tunnell wasnt a botch job, a few house had minor cracks... nothing really major, think u heard wrong....

    Lowland bogs grew out of shallow lakes, so if they are putting a lake back into a former bog it's hardly a cause for you to be so frantic. On the other hand, everybody objects to everything nowadays so maybe you're right to carry on the tradition. However the Garryhinch area seems to have more than its fair share of car dealers operating from private houses so I can't see how a nice lake would would make things any worse!

    It's only a proposal and a long way from being approved. You could follow the planning process if it ever goes to planning. The idea is to pump water from the Shannon to provide a reservoir for Dublin. There are literally thousands of people queueing up to object to this one. You can expect huge opposition from almost everyone living close to the river. The "eco park" angle helps make it more sellable to those who perceive themselves to be adversely effected by the project.

    Thinking back to the port tunnel been built, wasnt the tunnel to small for a certain percentage of trucks?
    Plus the houses in question are in no danger short-term. The botch job I mentioned were reports as you stated. The point is the work did have an effect on people, whether a small crack or weakened foundations.

    If it is beneficial to my neighbours and us, I wouldnt bother to object. If had no effect whatsoever and everything is conducted in the right manner, again it wouldnt bother me. If it is going to cause hardship. Yes I will object. I dont have any hidden agenda to enrich myself from this.
    Although I like the fact it will bring jobs to us.
    Yes, wouldnt it be wonderful to see those car garages sinking in the lake, one bad motor too many!

    It will be interesting to see this ecopark.
