Teresa Treacy solidarity at ESB HQ Dublin

From the Teresa Treacy Facebook page- 'Teresa Treacy is a 65 year old woman, jailed by the ESB in Mountjoy Prison. Teresa is from Clonmore, Tullamore, Co Offaly, Ireland. This Facebook page is set up by the Teresa Treacy Support Group, friends and neighbours of Teresa who are organising a campaign in her support. The purpose of the campaign is to secure the release of Teresa from jail and to protect the trees on her land. Concerned individuals from all around the country are responding and we are in the process of setting up communication structures for people to get together and get involved. THE PROBLEM. The ESB (Electricity Supply Board) are seeking to construct high voltage (110kV) transmission powerlines OVERGROUND through Teresa's land. The ESB are in the process of destroying 12,000 trees on 12 acres of woodland in order to construct double woodpole and steel tower masts. Teresa has objected to this plan since it was first proposed in early 2006. When the ESB consulted with her she objected strongly and offered a compromise of putting the powerlines UNDERGROUND, which is standard best practice across Europe. The ESB pressed on regardless and when Teresa blocked them from her land the ESB asked the High Court to jail her. Judge Daniel Herbert obliged. The day after Teresa was jailed the ESB moved in on the land to fell the trees, however supporters arrived in order to protect her land and the ESB have backed off temporarily. THE SOLUTION. 1. The ESB must apply to the court for Teresa's release immediately. 2. The ESB must route the powerlines underground in accordance with European Standard Best Practice. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Teresa... Video © Paula Geraghty All Rights Reserved
