      The destruction of nature in Ireland will never cease. Some land has changed hand around my way, and the farmers have been cutting down trees and absolutely destroying hedgerows. Literally, every single living entity in their way is being decimated. As if it was not already grim enough.

      They knew well they would be fined, it was something in their way. Now asking not to be hit with the max fine when they would do the exact same thing tomorrow. They should start jailing people for this kind of thing because it’s not stopping companies doing at all.

      Since the event „Coolmore had made several screening applications to the department since 2023, which had not been approved and these decisions were respected“

      So they are clearly hoping to continue decimating Irish hedgerows, albeit with permission this time. Absolute travesty with no regard for anything that lives in these lungs of nature, just as long as Coolmore make maximum profit,

      Fine them the maximum and make Coolmore known in the press for this kind of behaviour.

      It’s not a big leap to say welfare of animals is only a concern for this group when they can profit them.

      The only way that this kind of destruction will be discouraged is if there is nothing to be gained by it. Cool more should have to pay for restoration of the destroyed hedgerows, including the banks and maintenance of new planting, etc.

      How do I report destruction of hedges and fairy rings? It’s been done at an alarming rate around the country and needs to be taken seriously.

      They destroyed the hedgerows all around my family home. Ripped out fields of them. It turns out apart from the ecological impact they provided a sound barrier from a main road and it’s completely changed our quality of life. We tried everything to fight them on it and it came to nothing! Big bullies!

      Horse racing is too much money for the Gubberment, they are hardly gonna piss on one of the big cartels !!?

      Hedgerows are basically all we have left of nature as we have destroyed almost everything else – our bogs, our forests, our rivers, our lakes. Terrible
