From the Marcellus Shale Field to the Shannon Estuary: Appalachia, Ireland, and the Fossil Gas Trade

Event Details

Despite Ireland's fracking ban in 2017 and subsequent policy against importing fracked gas in 2021, the government is pushing to build new fossil fuel infrastructure to now allow the import of fracked gas from the US - more specifically, gas extracted in Pennsylvania.

Come join us in the store or tune in virtually to learn from experts about the negative impacts that the gas trade has on our communities at home and abroad.
