Dr Matthijs Schouten<\/p><\/div>\n

Labhair Matthijs Schouten, a bh\u00ed i gceannas ar an tionscadal, faoi thaighde a thos\u00fa ar\u00eds i samhradh 1978 maidir le tionchar na haer\u00e1ide ar fh\u00e1sra portaigh. Bh\u00ed air f\u00e9in agus ar a fhoireann deich bportach shl\u00e1na l\u00e1r t\u00edre a aimsi\u00fa in \u00c9irinn \u2013 cheap siad gur tasc \u00e9asca a bheadh ansin i dt\u00edr ina bhfuil an oiread sin portach Mar sin f\u00e9in, bh\u00ed s\u00e9 deacair acu aon cheann sl\u00e1n a aimsi\u00fa, \u00f3 tharla gur chuir draenacha, tinte agus baint mh\u00f3na isteach ar gach su\u00edomh ar thug siad cuairt air.<\/p>\n

Faoi dheireadh, d’aimsigh siad ocht su\u00edomh r\u00e9as\u00fanta sl\u00e1n, ach bh\u00ed an fhoireann m\u00edsh\u00e1sta faoin scrios a rinneadh ar phortaigh na h\u00c9ireann. Chun meanma a ard\u00fa, chinn an fhoireann cuairt a thabhairt ar shu\u00edomh mainistreach Chluain Mhic N\u00f3is.<\/p>\n

Agus iad ag taisteal ansin d\u2019aithin siad portach beag ardaithe nach bhfaca siad ar ghrianghraif n\u00e1 ar l\u00e9arsc\u00e1ileanna \u00f3n aer. Shocraigh siad staid\u00e9ar a dh\u00e9anamh ar an su\u00edomh.<\/p>\n

“D\u2019aimsigh muid an portach is \u00e1ille d\u00e1 bhfaca muid riamh. N\u00ed fhaca muid riamh cheana c\u00f3rais iontacha linnte den s\u00f3rt sin, faich\u00ed n\u00e1 tul\u00f3ga sfagnaim den s\u00f3rt sin; n\u00edor shi\u00fail muid riamh tr\u00ed phortach a bh\u00ed chomh deacair sin a thrasn\u00fa mar gheall ar a fhliche. N\u00ed dheachaigh muid go Cluain Mhic N\u00f3is an l\u00e1 sin…”<\/em><\/p>\n

[Portach an Mhong\u00e1in, agus l\u00edne iarnr\u00f3id Bhord na M\u00f3na go St\u00e1isi\u00fan Cumhachta Dhroichead na Sionainne in aice leis (ar thaobh na l\u00e1imhe deise den phicti\u00far seo). Rinneadh draenacha a thochailt ar an Mong\u00e1n lena thriom\u00fa sula dtabharfa\u00ed faoi st\u00e1isi\u00fan cumhachta.<\/p><\/div>\n

Ach ar thaobh iartharach an phortaigh bh\u00ed meais\u00edn ann, agus draenacha tochailte Chuaigh siad i dteagmh\u00e1il leis an Ollamh John Moore a rinne teagmh\u00e1il le Bord na M\u00f3na ina dhiaidh sin lena chinnti\u00fa go mairfeadh an Mong\u00e1n.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rinneadh margadh malartaithe tal\u00fan leis An Taisce, agus bh\u00ed siad anois ina n-\u00fain\u00e9ir ar Phortach an Mhong\u00e1in. Bh\u00ed r\u00edth\u00e1bhacht leis an idirghabh\u00e1il sin. Dar le Kelly et al in 1995, bh\u00ed s\u00e9 i gceist ag Bord na M\u00f3na m\u00f3in a bhaint ar an bportach, agus bh\u00ed draenacha curtha isteach acu ag an d\u00e1 thaobh in 1978. Chuir oibrithe deonacha Groundwork, a bh\u00ed ag obair don Taisce idir 1984 agus 1986 agus mar chuid de ch\u00farsa oili\u00fana ECO in 1986, damba\u00ed ar na draenacha thoir agus thiar.<\/p>\n

Agus \u00e9 ag scr\u00edobh in ‘Celebrating Boglands’, a d’fhoilsigh an IPCC in 2002, deir an Dr Schouten: \u201cLooking back, I think this is where it all began. This completely unexpected success in saving Mongan Bog was the basic inspiration for the \u2018battle of the bogs\u2019. It gave hope, confidence and above all enthusiasm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Go gairid ina dhiaidh sin buna\u00edodh an Fhond\u00faireacht Dh\u00faitseach um Chaomhn\u00fa Phortaigh na h\u00c9ireann.<\/p>\n

Th\u00e1inig cuairteoir eile \u00f3n R\u00edocht Aontaithe go dt\u00ed an Mong\u00e1n, an Dr David Bellamy, agus \u00e9 ar mh\u00ed na meala, sular thosaigh saothr\u00fa agus baint mh\u00f3na ar mh\u00f3rsc\u00e1la ar choimpl\u00e9asc Phortach na hAbhann Duibhe in aice l\u00e1imhe. Luaigh an Dr David gurb \u00e9 sin an chuid ab fhearr d\u00e1 mh\u00ed na meala!<\/p>\n
