Cutting turf isn’t completely banned yet so I’m confused considering it has been cut for the last 400 years roughly?
Can you just go to any bog and dig away?
I’d a huge problem with Bord na Mona cutting on an industrial scale, you only have to look at the scars across the Midlands on google earth to see why, but people cutting enough for themselves is an entirely different beast IMO. I’d love to see Ireland become a bastion of renewables but having lived in rural Ireland and seeing first hand the situation I know that we are a long, long way off that. Everything outside Dublin and some of the major cities is severely lacking in any meaningful, affordable, alternative to turf or oil heating.
We should be cutting turf instead of cutting turf.

Irish people or a handful of pricks?
