Dublin says residents of Inishowen have nothing to fear from gold prospectors operating in the peninsula

Elsewhere, the residents warn that gold extraction - where approved - can involve ‘heap leaching’ that residents claims involves the use of cyanide.
The residents ask: “Would you want your child to go to a school that was at significant risk of being exposed to emissions that are invisible but highly toxic?
“Would you bring your child to a holiday destination where cyanide-laden waters drain through the river systems onto sandy shores and out into the Atlantic Ocean?
“Would you eat seafood with high levels of mercury?
