DEAR SIR: I am writing to you in relation to an article published in the Irish Farmers Journal on 26 July 2014. It was in relation to fracking in Fermanagh. Thank you for putting it out there.
There is one point you made that I must respond to. In your article, you stated that the issue of whether to allow fracking was a highly emotional one. I don’t believe there is anything emotional about the issue at all.

The relevant question is: “Do you want arsenic in the water table or not?” We live on a fairly low-lying Island and our water table is rather close to the surface. Do we really want to risk our very livelihood and those of our livestock so that an Australian company can make money? I for one, think not.
