Turfcutters plan to defy bog ban
Moanveanlagh bog, which is outside Listowel, is one of 53 raised bogs on which turfcutting is prohibited under an EU directive.
Earlier this year people who have been using the bog for generations indicated they would again harvest turf there, despite pleas from Arts and Heritage Minister Jimmy Deenihan, a FG TD for Kerry North/West Limerick, not to do so.
