galway / environment Tuesday January 21, 2003 15:29 by IMC Editorial Group
On Saturday February 1st a 24 hour vigil
is planned in
defense of the 90 or so trees in Eyre Square. The vigil is part of a
campaign launched on
14th January to save the trees. One of the trees under threat was planted to
celebrate Galway becoming a 'Nuclear Free Zone'.
The Galway Environmental Alliance have been raising awareness of the threat to the trees since 1999 and are involved in this latest initiative to secure a future for them. Almost one thousand people have sent submissions to the City Council asking that the trees be incorporated into the Eyre Square enhancement plan. This has been ignored by the City Authorities. Popular disssatisfaction with the imposed plan to chop down the majority of the mature trees and replace them with saplings is reflected by the hundrds of coloured ribbons attached to them by objectors to the plans for their future.Comment on this article here
