<div><strong>Ballyshannon Action Group</strong> was set up in response to a quarry planning application by Kilsaran Concrete at Racefield, Ballyshannon. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The application was refused by Kildare County Council, thanks to a huge community effort. However, Kilsaran appealed the decision with An Bord Pleanala and in early June 2021 they were granted permission for the quarry. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations so far have gone towards the professional experts needed to represent Ballyshannon Action Group at both Kildare County Council and An Bord Pleanala. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now we are raising additional funds to take our case further. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Following on from our campaign any leftover monies will be gifted toward community projects. 
</div>
