Organisations are planning to file legal action against the "shameful decision" taken by the Planning Authority (PA) in favour of the DB group’s project at Pembroke.

Legal actions against such a massive project entail significant legal and professional fees that can only be sustained with the public’s contributions, the NGOs said in a statement.

Thus, the organisations are launching a crowdfunding campaign to raise the necessary funds for continuing their fight against DB’s greed and the authorities’ complicity.

The public can donate by:

Or via a bank transfer to this account:

The PA initially approved the ITS-DB project in 2018. A strong public response to a call for donations allowed us to fight multiple legal battles that ultimately led to the cancellation of the 2018 permit. We are now determined to continue fighting this monstrosity by mounting further legal actions against this threat to our quality of life and our environment. The two 18- and 17-storey towers and the 12-storey hotel, on public land in Pembroke, would be situated in a residential area and would impact important historical sites and areas of great natural sensitivity.

Everyone is against DB’s monstrosity - three Local Councils, many organisations and thousands of residents and objectors. We cannot let big business and public authorities run roughshod over the people’s will to protect its environment and quality of life. Everyone’s contribution - big or small - makes a huge difference!
