Anti-fracking demo in Enniskillen (BBC)

About 100 people have gathered in Enniskillen to demonstrate against the use of fracking to extract gas from shale rock in County Fermanagh.

Earlier this week an exploration company said there could be enough gas to guarantee natural gas supply for Northern Ireland over 50 years.

However, the process has proved controversial elsewhere.

In Lancashire, it has caused small earthquakes and in America, water has been polluted.

Tamboran Resources, the company that wishes to extract gas in County Fermanagh, said it would minimize risks with a seismic survey to give a detailed three-dimensional picture of what it is drilling into and it also said it will not use any chemicals in its fracking process.

You're going to need it.

Word to the wise, don't trust a word Tamboran says. Get everything in writing, and watch them like hawks. If your frackers are anything like ours, lying is how they do business.
