             | Blasts from the Past - Burren Action Group, Mullaghmore T-Shirt | |
| by Celtic T-Shirts on 2009-12-31 | ||
 The Burren Action Group formed in 1991 in protest against plans by Irish National Parks and Wildlife Service to develop a large scale interpretative centre at Mullaghmore in the Burren, Co. Clare, Ireland.They argued that visitor facilities should be sited in villages, where there are already existing services and where economic benefits can accrue to the local populations, not in the sensitive core area of the Burren National Park.A bitter dispute and legal wrangle lasted for nine years until the courts refused permission for the development. The Burren Action Group formed locally and made up of volunteers. This design was printed on t-shirts and sweatshirts for the group. The design was made by Tadhg O'Ceírín and depicts the magic of the Mullaghmore landscape and the rare delicate flora which continues to flourish there.
