Don't be fooled by the 'Britain is growing' fairytales, says David Craig. Any 'growth' is accounted for by the hike in the benefits bill and in civil servants' pay and a heap of other unproductive deficit spending.

People before Profit Alliance damage another campaign

More abuses enviromental abuses by Roadstone

The fight to save Arklow Rock became embittered last week when the organizers of a protest meeting walked out claiming that it had been “hijacked by political opportunists”.

In a statement to the wicklow times paper, Chairman of Arklow Rock Preservation Association explained: “ We are a non- political association. We have achieved the full support of all our local representatives in trying to ensure the preservation of the south side of Arklow rock. We are prepared to give our elected representatives time to persuade Roadstone to postpone any further work on the south side of the rock until the planning and heritage issue has been clarified.

“It was decided to post-pone this meeting and to sever any links with the people before profit alliance as these people appear to have a political agenda and a view to using the rock issue as a base for a candidate they wish to run in the next general election”.

This point is clearly displayed on a flier distributed in Arklow town (Co. Wicklow) last week by them. It must be made clear that this group approached us on the grounds that they were a non- political Bray based association, and they wished to offer there full support with the regard to saving the remaining peak and the amenity of Arklow rock”, said Mr Gleeson.

Green Party county councilor says the key issue regarding Arklow Rock is weather the roadstone company needs to apply for planning permission to quarry the upper sections of the rock.

De Burca says that she has had previous experience of the Roadstone Company through its quarrying operations at GlenDing in Blessington where the company was responsible for the illegal quarrying and removal of 67,000 tonnes of material from Glen Ding”
