EU is taking Ireland to court over failure to stop illegal peat extraction

Clear evidence of illegality is not being acted on, says Brussels

The Irish Times
The EU is taking Ireland to court over 'significant' (overwhelming) peat cutting still taking place. Yesterday, I interviewed a man who cuts turf professionally and this is what he said:

Took me 1 hour to #gimp all those photos!
Could this be from the most expensive energy bills in the world?

No herbicides, so cardboard and digging were the mainstays for a few years.

Then we got the chickens, and it became much easier. One round of digging followed by keeping the birds there for a year has worked well.

They are now working on the next section of the yard.
