Photograph: Pat ByrneThere is “no evidence” a small dip and some soil disturbance in a field in Drumgossatt, Co Monaghan is linked to mining subsidence or activity, mining company Gyproc has said following a site investigation.
Gyproc, a plaster and plasterboard manufacturer involved in mining in the area, notified Monaghan County Council at 4.30pm on Tuesday, that they had received an alert about a “relatively small-sized surface opening” on farmland beside a road into Drumgossatt. The company and council officials conducted a site inspection of the farmland and the “surface disturbance of the soil” in question and Gyproc afterwards stated they found no issue or concern.
In a statement, the company said “there is no evidence of mining related subsidence, crownhole or sinkhole at the location”.
Be fine...
