Frack off !

[Tony Baloney]

Stupid decision to postpose the exploratory drill. If the whole world took that same stance we would still be in the Iron Age.

I was interested to hear Sammy Wilson from the DUP on the radio this morning - how does their version of the bible and creation account for oil and gas? Oh wait, God planted it there.

Why was it stupid? Are you sure fracking is 100% safe? I've read a bit about it and I'm not convinced it is at all safe. I certainly don't want it being done in Fermanagh. In the middle of a desert maybe but not 40 miles up the road from me.

The request was to drill one exploratory bore hole, in an abandoned quarry. No worse that someone drilling a water well. The result of the exploration would tell us whether the whole thing is plausible or not.

Exactly, what a load of populiat nonsense from Durkan.

DUP aren't happy. Sammy is up in arms. What was in it for the DUP ? Everybody else seem to be opposed.

Could it be anything to do with 54 acres of land.....?

Was it Arlenes husband who owned the land that the Fracking was to take place?

Scientific analysis has shown that in West Virginia and Pennsylvania fracking has contaminated ground water, so severe in places that tap water is actually flammable.

According to the BBC report I read ...it was land where fracking might happen. Arlene didn't feel this required her to declare it though.

That answers that question that question then.

Typical.

I find that fairly hard to believe tbh.

Personally I'd be opposed to it without knowing more about it and having a full review completed

You'll never guess who quietly granted a 6 month extension to the drilling licence.......

This shouldn't get out. Keep it quiet.

I owe Mark H an apology then  . The economy can take the hit so that auld cnut doesn't profit from this.

From my understanding of the process I struggle to understand how ground water would not be contaminated to some degree. I cannot fathom how the chemicals used in the fracking or the gas released could be completely contained so as to make it safe.

Like in "Them Thar Hills" with Laurel & Hardy?

Dont know what the fuss is? It's not as if Fermanagh hasn't a history of big explosions is it?

Disgraceful comment
