A decision is due on the development tomorrow.
The Abbeyleix Bog Project is describing an application for a new quarry in Laois as deeply concerning.
Laois County Council are due to make a decision on the Booth Precast Products planning file on 3rd March.
The proposal is causing outrage among local residents, who have joined An Taisce and the Irish Peatland Conservation Council in making submissions against the 20 year plan.
Chairman of the Abbeyleix Bog Project, Ricky Whelan, says draining the bog would have a massive impact:
