  • Case dismissed over turf cutting on protected bog in Galway Cutting turf on a protected bog · Co. Galway

    Patrick Lavin of Frenchpark, Co Roscommon, and Thomas Ward of Gort an tSléibhe, Claregalway, were charged with cutting turf on Ballymoe Bog, a protected site on the Galway/Roscommon border, in June 2013. Both men pleaded not guilty in 2015. In November 2022, the case was dismissed at Galway Circuit Criminal Court after the State entered a nolle prosequi and counsel for the DPP said no witnesses would be put forward. Independent TD Michael Fitzmaurice, chairperson of the Turf Cutters and Contractors Association, welcomed the decision.
