• Bellinaboy/Glengad/Rossport - Pros
  Supports an affected community
  Shell to Sea have made this issue well-known already, could attract big crowds
  Has myriad facets: climate justice, environment, economic sovereignty, anti-corruption
  Shell supports carbon trading
  Shell to Sea were very supportive of the camp.
  
  Cons
  Risk losing Climate Camp identity when we are still establishing it
  Heavy Garda presence may frighten away families and non-activists
  Far from Dublin.

• Shannonbridge – Pros
  Bogs are a very important issue, and (culturally) uniquely Irish.
  Familiarity – less work to do.
  Better integration with community - John Luker likes us!
  Chance to advocate paludiculture – the cultivation of useful crops on greenhouse gas-absorbing wet peatland.
   
  Cons
  Getting too tied to that place and becoming a single issue camp
  Land owner might not like us any more
  
  
  
• Lanesboro – Pros
  Bogs are a very important issue, and culturally Irish – this offers a way to continue the peat issue without being tied to Shannonbridge.
  
  Cons
  Becoming a single issue camp
  Likely Garda intrusion, since arrests were made there last year.
  
  
  
• CRH Concrete – Pros
  Near to Dublin, thus would be easy to travel to.
  Near to the rich vegetable fields of North Dublin (local food available.)
  
  Cons
  Building industry downturn has reduced its relevance – its production has almost halved.
  
  
  
• Moneypoint Power Station – Pros
  It’s Ireland’s biggest single fossil fuel source of emissions
  It’s on the Shannon.
  Recent Shannon flooding highlights climate issues and government’s inadequacy
  More accessible for Munster/Connaught dwellers than some other locations?
  
  Cons
  Apparent lack of decent available land nearby.
  Far from everywhere.
  
  
  
• IFSC (Carbon Trading Centre of the future) - Pros
  It’s a serious proposal (IT January 8, 2010) that should be resisted.
  In Dublin, and near major bus and train stations = high attendance.
  Possible camping available in Fairview Park, or Dartmouth Square. Also suggested was a camp site on the northern outskirts of the city.
  Greater public awareness of the camp and relevant issues.
  
  Cons
  Difficulty in getting the right to camp near there.
  
  
  
• Dublin Bay Incinerator – Pros and cons as for IFSC above, also
  Offers opportunity to support a local campaign of resistance.
  Issue is widely understood.
  
  
  
• Braemore Port – Pros
  Opportunity to highlight the shipping issue and try to stop a project in its tracks.
  Much research already done by Ian L.
  The port will transfer containers from intercontinental vessels to coastal ships for onward transport to Europe.
  Near to Dublin.
  
  Cons
  Limited local resistance – landowners bought out already.
  No visible construction work yet.
  
  
  
• New Ross Bypass – Pros
  Highlights expensive and needless road expansion.
  Near public transport.
  Local resistance exists already, thus a possible local site.
  
  Cons
  Bypasses are widely considered “necessary”.
  
  
  
• A5 upgrade, Co. Tyrone – Pros
  Highlights expensive and needless road expansion.
  Is funded by both UK and Irish governments.
  Provides an opportunity to camp in NI.
  Resistance campaign exists already.
  
  Cons
  Might be difficult to connect to southern people.
  Far from Dublin area.
  
  
  
• Sligo Airport - Pros

  Scenic coastal location.
  
  Cons
  Far from Dublin.
  Far from public transport.
