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.
