In alot of places it will be hundreds of years till they are stripped bare. I just think its a bit much to make people pay much higher prices for fuel and have people losing there income just for a few wild flowers and animals. dizzydub (Dublin) - Posts: 339 - 05/07/2010 15:34:01 696895 Link 0 |

The Fishing Industry needs a huge overhaul... if that means people losing their jobs than so be it I'm afraid. It's a tough old world jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20763 - 05/07/2010 16:33:00 697023 Link 0 |

Im sure there are lots of other ways of heating the house but will these ways pay for the people who depend on turf cutting to survive?? Will they be as cheap as turf is now?? Money is very tight. The last thing we need is higher cost and more people being out of work dizzydub (Dublin) - Posts: 339 - 05/07/2010 16:59:01 697082 Link 0 |

jimbodub - yes we have damaged our country enough. but why always pick on rural many of whom are elderly and take away their only source of heat. why arent bord na mona shut down so and build a few wind mills. its the larger countries and coroprations who are polluting this planet. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11747 - 05/07/2010 18:48:09 697242 Link 0 |

I am just wondering what the people of a couple of generations would thinkabout banning turf cutting. Unimaginable. we had no electricity back then and turf was vital for our very existence. How times have changed. Bigapple (Kerry) - Posts: 495 - 06/07/2010 16:27:58 698425 Link 0 |

one more point Jim the fisheries and Turf cutting is in no way an apt comparison.... Fish stocks were decimated to feed demand from the whole population.... turf cutting supplies a tiny fraction of the population.... better management is the solution here not bans.
