Turf compo deal starts to deliver
The 15-tonne loads of turf began to be delivered to families in Co Galway at the weekend, in the parishes of Mountbellew and Newbridge, and the operation will continue for a month.
After lengthy discussions between turfcutters, the Irish Peatlands Association, the National Parks and Wildlife Service and Bord na Móna, a compensation deal was arranged until replacement bogs are readied for turfcutting next year.
