My Department was informed in April 2020 that a drone survey commissioned by Gyproc to monitor potential ground subsidence at the disused Drumgoosat gypsum mine in Co. Monaghan, identified a 6m wide crownhole. The crownhole is located within an area of previous (2018) subsidence and is some 280 metres from the nearest road or house. Gyproc continues to closely monitor the situation and my Department continues to work with Monaghan County Council and the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure that the situation at Magheracloone is managed satisfactorily.
