Tourism Not Fracking

Anti-fracking sentiment spotted in the Kiltyclogher area of north Co. Leitrim. This remote, rugged landscape, as well as adjoining parts of western Co. Fermanagh across the border, contains a substantial natural gas field which has been identified by Australian mining company Tamboran Resources as suitable for fracking. This controversial process of extracting shale gas has been opposed by local residents because of safety and environmental concerns.
