Legal challenge to Bord na Móna use of turf stockpiles

Scores of jobs at remaining Bord na Móna facilities across the midlands could be lost if a new legal challenge to the company’s remaining turf operations is successful.

Since then, Bord na Móna has been using stockpiles of peat to supply the professional horticulture industry, to make briquettes and to fuel remaining power stations which continue to burn peat. Bord na Móna has already shut down its two major peat-burning power plants in the midlands, at Lanesborough, Co Longford, and Shannonbridge, Co Offaly. It has also closed a briquette factory in Co Tipperary.

Stockpiled peat is also used at the Bord na Móna plant at Kilberry, Co Kildare, where fertilisers, limes and nutrients are added to peat to make premium compost.

People wouldn't be losing their jobs if it wasn't for the Green party. The green party needs to be removed from government before they but us back years
