Galway landowners rally against designation
Galway Bay fm newsroom - Landowners restricted by the environmental designation of lands will attend a rally in the city this evening.
Under the European Habitats Directive, certain lands are designated 'Special Areas of Conservation'- restricting farmers or landowners from using the land.
A series of rallies will take place in the coming months to gather support for the landowners in these designated areas.
Tonight's meeting is being organised by the SAC Compensation Alliance, and is taking place at the Clayton Hotel at 8.
