The report says local authorities have been conspicuous in their lack of enforcement of environmental law and their performance in this area is “patently inadequate”.
The EPA has given local authorities all its enforcement information, and intelligence about the location, size, and nature of the 38 illegal peat extraction operations, including aerial photography.
It is calling on those local authorities to step up to their statutory responsibilities as regulators, to develop county-wide enforcement plans and site-specific enforcement plans, and to then implement those plans and hold operators to account.
The counties are Offaly, Kildare, Tipperary, Westmeath, Roscommon, Longford and Sligo.

Glad this is finally in the news, it’s been under the radar for too long. Local people trying to heat their homes with small amounts of turf have been crucified for years while these cunts harvest peat on an industrial scale just so some rich Germans can pot their flowers
