Yesterday.
Meanwhile…
This is where the land slide in Leitrim started. Hard to believe land and trees just floated away. All the cracks seem to be where drainage and mounding took place for planting. 😡 pic.twitter.com/OIaECTwkoT

Ah here.
Niall C tweetz:
Going through some stills from a shoot with Irish Air Corps last week. That bog on the right remind you of anything?
Uncanny.
The Broadsheet Buke of Unspecified Things That Look Like Ireland (edited by Aidan Coughlan, New Island, €5) Some still in stock!
Indeed and there will.
If last year’s event (see 20 seconds in) is anything to go by.
You’ll be running to the ‘bog’, then.
As in bathroom.
Right so.
Not too late to register.

Apparently an agreement has been reached between gardaí and turfcutters at Clonmoylan Bog…more details as soon as we can get them…

Earlier: Turf War Recap
There was a stand off between 100 turf-cutters and gardai and national parks and wildlife service officials in Portumna, Galway.
The protest was carried out to prevent any machinery being seized at Clonmoylan Bog.
At around 3.30am this morning one seized digger (above) was burned to the ground.
There are also reports the owner of the digger Michael Darcy was hospitalised over night.
The stand-off continues as bus loads of supporters arrived at the scene of the protest this morning.
