Friends of the Irish Environment’s recent visit to our study area in the raised bogs of the midlands revealed even more intense destruction of our bogs than when we began monitoring in 2009, with lands excavated down to the mineral layer, making rehabilitation virtually impossible.
…see for yourself in this three-minute video what is happening in the biggest unauthorised use of land in Europe.

FG recently had a Green Week which considering their appalling record with the environment was one of the more egregious cases of green-washing. See also the destruction of the River Bandon, the increase of monoculture forestry, extending the period allowing hedge-cutting, and the continued culling of badgers even though it’s been proven over and over again that they do not spread TB to cattle. The contemptuous disregard for the things that make this country beautiful is only getting worse.
Stop Bord na Móna. Then we can talk.
In the meantime, my family won turf will heat our home all winter.
Agreed, actuallyf. Cracking down on small family plots is a bit useless set against the intensification of industrial-level exploitation.
culchies wreck everything don’t they though?
They sure do.
I’m a bog man. I understand there is an environmental problem but I don’t understand this jargon and mumbo jumbo. Stephen Rae sound alike and deep sensing music can only do so much to get attention.
Can someone explain to me in laymans terms what they are trying to say in this specific video?
They’re selling concern!!
About what they’re not sure.
But we’re all guilty, mm-K!
