The Burren Action Group was a group of people from County Clare in Ireland who opposed plans during the 1990s by the Office of Public Works to develop a large scale interpretative centre at Mullaghmore in the local Burren area.
[1] The Group was a collective of concerned locals who saw themselves as fighting to maintain the natural integrity of the landscape and to protect the environment from elements of the Government of Ireland which did not understand what was at stake.
[citation needed] In 1992/1993 seven members of the group lodged a complaint against the project with the Irish High Court, which resulted in work being stopped.
[2] These seven included local farmers like James Howard and Patrick McCormack, priest Fr John O’Donohue, and academic Emer Colleran, as well as media figures like the producer P.J.
[5] The Burren Action Group compiled a music album in the early 1990s, entitled Music in the Stone to raise money to save Mullaghmore because "...the wheels of greed are rolling towards it"; contributing artists included Luka Bloom, Sharon Shannon and Loreena McKennitt.
