On the 25th of June, An Bord Pleanála approved Planning Permission for South Dublin County Council to build a Dublin Mountain Visitor Centre and all associated works on Montpelier Hill. Case reference: PL06S.JA0040

We the Save the Hellfire team are very disappointed with An Bord Pleanála’s decision. At the moment we are considering the implications of this decision and seeking legal advise. We are resolutely opposed to the proposed €22m overscaled inappropriately placed development and we urgently need your help!

We are all too aware of the economic pressure people are under in Ireland today, and of the implication of asking you for funds to support this campaign. However the Hellfire and Massy’s Wood are important amenities and we must protect them from commercial development.

We hope that people and organizations from around the county and beyond will rally quickly to support our cause. To this end we would ask that you please once again stand with us and give whatever help and support that you can.

All contributions are most welcome, whether you can give €10, €50, €100 or whatever you can afford. We are most grateful to all who have donated in the past and are donating again now.

As author Wallace Stegner said "Something will have gone out of us as people if we ever let the remaining wilderness be destroyed..... We simply need that wild country available to us, even if we never do more than drive to its edge and look in." - The Sound of Mountain Water
