    “This type of Cessna plane is used by the NPWS every day of the week to spy on our people as they go about their work. We have recorded this plane flying NINE times a day over our bogs and private homes.

    To fly this plane, with a crew and 2 NPWS on board costs €1,200 per hour. It flies 12 hours a day over our people at a daily cost of €14,400. This is a weekly cost of €100,800.”

    • NPWS ‘Rangers’ and the Black and Tans!

    Quote
    Two photographs of scenes from the 2006 film, The Wind That Shakes the Barley. A modern day type of Black and Tan is trying to intimidate people in Galway. These ‘rangers’ are doing the dirty work of the European Union and trying to make criminals out of rural Irish people.

    Turf cutting is under attack, a rural way of life is under attack, Tradition is under attack. You have spy planes flying over homes of people.

    With turf to be cut, it is necessary to keep these ‘rangers’ out of your private property. There are laws against trespass and a God given and constitutional right to private property.

    As shown in Loughrea on Wednesday, people still have common sense, the common sense and conviction to stand up for what is right and oppose what is wrong.

    • The NPWS 'Rangers' are not local people but their names and faces are known.

    "NPWS Ranger Enda Mooney seen here trespassing on Private Property in Clonmoylan Bog."

    "This is the NPWS Ranger who gave the order to take the privately owned machinery from a privately owned field. The field is well outside any SAC. Let him know what you think of his actions. He has no respect for the private property of others be it bog plots, fields or machinery."


    "NPWS Ranger Eamon Meskell trespassing on PRIVATE PROPERTY in Clonmoylan Bog. This is the same Ranger who allowed 80 acres of Redwood Bog (in his own area) burn without intervention from the NPWS. He told the Nenagh Guardian that NPWS could not deal with the fire on this SAC (Redwood Bog) "BECAUSE IT WAS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY" Pictured above is Ranger Meskell trespassing on private property and at the same time trying to stop Irish Citizens from cutting turf on their private property."

    • The Siege of Clonmoylan. (2012). Not far from where a few generations earlier local people faced down British Crown forces.

    "The seige of Clonmoylan June 2012. The State Forces came to steal PRIVATE machinery from a PRIVATE PROPERTY field. The State failed miserably. TURF WILL AGAIN BE CUT IN CLONMOYLAN BOG IN 2013. The turf cutters of Ireland won the seige of Clonmoylan. NPWS Director Conor O'Raghaillaigh now recognises that turf cutters have PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS and that he failed totally to stop turf cutting in any bog in 2012."

    "Over €1,000,000 of borrowed money was spent by the Kenny Government in this effort to steal PRIVATE PROPERTY machinery. You know the story if you needed a Garda in a hurry ........................................ they were all at the seige of Clonmoylan."

    • "More of the beautiful turf cut in Clonmoylan Bog on August 31st 2012 when the State thought they had us stopped after stealing our turf cutting machinery. This time WE KEPT the NPWS Rangers OUT. We will cut on this plot and many, many more plots in 2013.
    No Rangers need come."

    "No bogowner is a criminal. No law has been broken. Bogowners are well entitled to cut and save turf on their own PRIVATE PROPERTY bog plots. State intimidation by the NPWS will not work. We will always cut turf for our families."

    • You got rid of the British only to be ruled by faceless bureaucrats in Brussels via your own corrupt Irish politicians who sold you the "Irish Tiger" dream.

    • The four men were in court this morning. Case adjourned until 2nd July. Well over 200 people took part in a solidarity gathering outside the court and marched through the city of Galway.

    We are shocked and saddened by the untimely death of our spokesperson, colleague and dear friend Dermot Moran. Dermot fought tiredlessly for the Turf Cutters of Barroughter and Clonmoylan Bogs and the rights of the Turf Cutters to cut their turf, as well as the rights of all Turf Cutters in Ireland.
    Dermot protected the Turf Cutters and their property during the seige of Clonmoylan in 2012. He was a man that never wavered from his principles. Dermot will be sadly missed by the turf cutting communities throughout Ireland and by his own local community.
    A great man has been called home from us. Rest in peace Dermot.

    What's a "Turf Cutter?" Is that "Gaelic" as well?

    turf cutting video


    Cutting turf is basically cutting big chungs of earth out of the groud and saving it to burn in a big stove.
