Bog restoration programme receives €2m in funding

Just under €2m is to be spent on the administration of a programme for the accelerated restoration of Ireland’s protected bogs over the coming 12 months.

The Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht has placed a tender for €1.86 million for project management and associated professional services concerning the restoration of roughly 1,900 hectares of raised bogland at nine different sites around the country.
