Milestone reached: our first expert is on board — here's what's next

Thanks to everyone who has donated, we've now formally instructed our first expert to work on our objection to the Lissinagroagh Wind Farm (An Coimisiún Pleanála ref. ACP-323048-25). This is a genuine breakthrough.

What it means: our case will no longer rest on local knowledge alone, but on professional, evidence-based analysis that an ACP inspector must give weight to. Your donations did this. A community that decided to stand up for Dough Mountain has just put serious expertise behind that stand.

Now the honest part. Instructing this expert is the first of several costs where proper representation will make the real difference. We've come an incredible distance, but we're not over the line yet.

Thank you for getting us this far. We'll report back as the work progresses — you'll be the first to know.

If you havent already and can spare it, please continue to donate!

The planning application for the proposed Lissnagroagh wind farm on Dough Mountain has been submitted. We now have a strict 5-week window to review the documentation and submit our objections.

We have incredible local talent, but to win this fight, we need to bring in seasoned professionals who know exactly how to beat this—and that requires funding. We need to raise €7,000 to get these experts on board as soon as possible.

How you can help:

Donate: Every single euro counts.

Share: Spread the word across your own social channels.
