STOP PROPOSED OYSTER FARM ON CRUIT ISLAND

Please retract this decision as it will ruin this lovely area and dire results for tourism and local trade in the long run

We have had similar abominations in New Zealand that have not had appropriate consultation. My grandfather was from Ireland so would hate to see the same happen there!!

Must we distroy every thing natural on this earth?

I object to this oyster farm being planned for this beautiful unspoilt area. Please do not allow this to happen. Orla Ward Donegal

This is beautiful natural strand. Find somewhere less stunning for your oyster farm

This proposal would totally destroy our beautiful unspoilt island.

Donegal has suffered enough from 'development'. This pristine site should be left untouched.

Beautiful beach. Please stop this planned oyster farming

This must be stopped

Why would anybody want to exploit the beauty of Cruit Island for financial gain

Please do not industrialise this beautiful place, keep it like it is for future generations.

Don't destroy this lovely site.

Greedy fat men. Leave OUR island alone.

I holiday in this area with my friends every year and bring much needed revenue to the area. I come because it is unspoiled. Please do not ruin the area.

Please leave another one of Ireland's beauty spots alone

As a regular visitor to this beautiful and untouched spot I deplore the proposal to site an oyster farm here.

There must be 100s of alternatives which would not spoil an obvious beauty spot which attracts locals and tourists.

Dear Minister Creed I am writing to voice my concern over a proposed oyster farm on what seems to industrial scale for the northern shores of Ireland around Donegal and particularly Cruit Island area. I believe this planning application was not in fact widely made public, and we are only being alerted to the fact in recent days. I most certainly object in the strongest terms to this farm being given the go ahead. This is an area of outstanding flora and fauna and this farm would pollute the sea and air which many of us dearly enjoy on our frequent trips to the area. Please do not hesitate to protect our shores for our continued enjoyment and use.

Dear Minister Creed, I am opposed to the allowing the proposed oyster farm be constructed along the coastline of Kincasslagh Bay and Cruit Island would be cheating the Irish People of the use of their own natural resources. As a regular visitor to this area to enjoy the flora and fauna, I have researched this farming method and have found that there is not one solitary point in favour of allowing it. Well, not for the locals or the Irish people any how. Please reconsider this reckless decision. Thank you.

The proposed Oyster farm at Cruit and Keadue Strands will damage the ecosystem of these tidal stretches and have the potential to ruin tourism in the area. As a visitor, privileged to own a property in the area I support schemes that provide jobs and income for residents but this creates almost no work and massive destruction.
