This concert was part of the Save Our Scenery (SOS) campaign. Alternatives to Pylons and Coiste Timpeallachta Ghaoth Dobhair are local people objecting to the ESB & Eirgrid's plans to erect a 110kv power line on 20 metre (60ft) high pylons across 102 kilometres (63 miles) of Donegal's most scenic areas.
The proposed route goes through Special Areas of Conservation and areas of immense natural beauty that would affect protected species and habitats.
Not to mention the detrimental effect to local residents health. Studies in the UK, Germany and US have shown that incidents of child leukaemia and adult cancers are increased for people living near power lines. Childhood cancers increase 69% near power lines.
Since 2000 Donegal Alternatives to Pylons have raised over €25,000 in the community to fight this campaign at two Oral Hearings in 2000 and 2009, having to pay expert witnesses to argue the case against this over ground high voltage power line.
In order to in order to continue the fight to protect the community and Donegals natural beauty, Donegal ATP are conducting a series of fundraising Save Our Scenery GIGS.
