Of Zinc Mining In Millstreet

Of a proposed plan for zinc mining in Millstreet on the Millstreet website i does read
If such does materialize who knows to where it might lead
There may be some jobs in the local area for a short term financial gain
But when the mine resources are exhausted for the locals years of environmental pain
Unless the strictest of environmental conditions on the miners are in place
A zinc mine in Millstreet like mines Worldwide have could become another environmental disgrace
When the greedy billionaire miners have departed to build more mines elsewhere
And cause more local environmental damage in the big World out there
Whilst from toxic run off of old leaking mines in the waterways of Duhallow fish will be dying
That only a few greedy billionaires gain from mining there can be no denying
Sick rivers and sick people where pollution is rife
People who live in places damaged from mining can expect a shorter life
Long after the mines of resources are exhausted and the greedy mining billionaires have gone
The environmental problems they have created for the local communities for decades will live on.
