Introduction to After the Goldrush After the Goldrush by Gerry McGovern

    • Documentary

Do Irish people know that Ireland has been selected as a Green sacrifice song for the so-called green technology, renewable energy transition from the beautiful wilds of Clare, Wicklow and Leitrim to the outstanding natural beauty of the Sperrin mountains of Tyrone. Rural Ireland is on Big Mining's chopping block.
This podcast is about the power of community, about how communities of Ireland are organizing to stop this disaster happening. For short term returns, the government wants to sell iron to mining interests as silently and quietly as possible. Let's make some noises. We will try to unravel why the Irish government is doing this.
