Disappointed to hear this. I've already booked my flights home for this so it better go ahead!

Harasing the council might not have any effect but it wont take much of your time either.

How to make an Environmental Complaint
To make an environmental complaint you have 3 options as follows:

   1. Email your complaint to environ@Sligococo.ie
   2. Make a written complaint on the complaints form and address  it to:
      Complaints Co-ordinator
      Environment Department
      Sligo County Council
      Unit 9, Cleveragh Business Park,
      Sligo
   3. Ring  071 9111900 

In making a complaint it is in your interest to provide as much information as possible. Whatever written method you use, it is advisable to keep a copy of whatever correspondence you send so as to facilitate any necessary follow up.

Please note that the provision of your name and address is important as otherwise Sligo County Council will not be in a position to report back to you regarding the matter complained about. Moreover, the Council may need to contact you in order to obtain more information about the matter and/or directions to the site in question.

If you wish your details to be kept confidential, this must be specifically indicated in your written complaint. Sligo County Council will respect your wishes in this regard within the powers provided under the Freedom of Information Act 1997.

Having completed this form, please also send copies of any correspondence or other supporting information such as photographs and maps to us.

I think they are aware of it, but funding seems an issue. It might be worth talking to some of the people mentioned in this report.

Quote from the document Kieran linked to:

"The centre of the field by the Castle has been ploughed and is inaccessible so we cannot use most of the field"


Caroline, can you confirm/deny whether the camping field has been ploughed up?

kmck:
That happened a few years ago and you can't camp in the centre of the field or even walk across it without falling over. it says 2005 in the report.

Rachel:
Ok so I know I've never been before so don't have the same attachment as anyone else to Easkey but it sounds like a great spot and it would be hard to come up with an alternative. Also I just don't like the sound of it being abandoned just because it needs to be cleaned and maintained better.

I'd be up for helping with a big clean up at the beginning. Also, this might sound a bit "third world" because, well, it's what I did in the "third world". One of the places I stayed in in Kenya had a toilet that didn't flush but was fine otherwise (it was hooked up to all the plumbing and all that) we just filled a bucket from the shower and then poured that down, it works the same as a flush if the right amount of water is used. If we couldn't fix the toilet in any other way we could do that if there is a tap or anything (the sea?) nearby?  Just an idea.
