Cosaint Costa na Gaeltachta

The catalyst for the formation of Cosaint Costa na Gaeltachta (CCG) was the threat of the development of a 1,000-acre coastal quarry in the vicinity of the Mine Head Lighthouse.

CCG is a small, voluntary, non-profit, community-based environmental organisation.

Members of the committee were elected at public meeting and consist of concerned and committed individuals who live in the area. The aim of the group is to preserve, protect and promote the natural environment belonging to the coastline of An Sean Phobal (Old Parish).

The members of CCG are dedicated to protect the special coastal heritage. As part of doing this, we seek to improve understanding of the character of the community, of the area and of the remarkable historical treasures to be found in the area.

CCG is currently funded by local community fundraising activities.
