We will ALWAYS cut turf on our private property bogs.

We will never ever give up our right to cut turf in our bogs.
Very well said, Councillor Michael.

Please share Far and wide. On Wednesday Gardai threatened elderly turf cutters on my bog in Cloonchambers near Castlerea. The Garda Sergeant in question told them they were criminals. The same Sergeant visited my bog back in May and threatened others. Yet when I reported to his Garda barracks that I had cut my turf he never bothered to get back to me. At 6 this evening I will bag my turf. We will take no more of this bullying. Try bully those who will be in Cloonchambers bog this evening from 6 and see how far they get. Time to put up or shut. Time for an end to this tyranny. Please share.
