“…At least initially, the Northern Ireland Assembly's effectiveness waxed and waned -a fact experts link primarily to inter-communal trust. 48 Morrow feels agreements such as the Belfast Agreement 'are essential to protect sustainable social relationships but without adequate relationships beyond formal agreements all proposed political structures are threatened by the legacy of violent conflict… social stability needs political structures and political structures need social stability'. 49 To some extent, the institutional recognition of the minority Catholic-republican community itself improved trust as its members felt their voices were being heard and the Protestant-unionist majority felt lasting peace was within reach.…”

Despite extensive social science research into public perceptions and social responses to fracking, scholars have only begun to examine the relationship between distance to development and support or opposition for it. Importantly, the emerging studies are exclusively from the United States, and focus on communities and regions in which fracking already exists – in contrast to areas where it is proposed and still going through planning approvals. This paper reports public responses to proposed fracking in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. A total of 120 people participated in an in-person survey with a qualitative follow-up in four locations: the village right next to the development site, two other villages just inside and just outside the wider fracking concession area, and in the capital city of Belfast, 150 km away. A clear spatial pattern of opinion was found, from almost universal opposition to fracking next to the site, to an even three-way split between proponents, opponents and ‘neutrals’ to fracking in general, in Belfast. Results show that some risks are perceived to be more local than others, whilst perceived (economic) benefits are recognised mainly at the national level. Content analysis of local and national newspapers revealed a very clear and similar pattern. Connections to Fermanagh, through visits or long-term residence, were also clear predictors of opposition to fracking. The spatial pattern of support for fracking in Northern Ireland differs substantially from each of the contrasting patterns observed in the United States. We discuss likely reasons for this and implications for both research and policy.
