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."
