    Keep opposing it. Tara mines (A canadian company) took 99% of profit from the Republic of Irelands and Europes biggest zinc mine which is now worthless. Politicians got brown envelopes.

      What nonsense! The latest Annual & Sustainability Report (page 40/42) from Boliden shows they paid to the national and local Government in Ireland the following (converted to Euros):
      -Corporation Tax, EUR 6 017 049
      -Employers Contributions, EUR 6 114 098
      -Other payments to public authorities, EUR 5 531 803

    Gold mining and no disruption ? That's really a fairy tale. Mining entails a lot of drilling and dumping of soil, usage of water and chemicals. All you have to do is to check out any mining site, active or abandoned to see the collateral damage. Mining extracts a heavy toll both on the environment as well as the community.
