    Cutting Turf

    Anyone able to enlighten me about the legality of cutting turf----heard there was an EU directive that banned the practice.

    Re: Cutting Turf

    They are cracking down on cutting raised bogs but not blanket bogs. Compensation is paid on a once off basis @ circa €3500

    Usually they mechanism is to designate the bogs as SAC s first
    Fianna Fail will allow the Irish People, to me milked like Milch Cows, by the CIF through high house prices, rents, and land prices, at the expense of competitiveness,and quality of life. FF+CIF=1

    Re: Cutting Turf

    a lot of houses have a thing called Tubbery rights (if that how you spell it.).So they might make a few Euro compo.
    A champion of the people emerges with the age-old and appealing promise of "something for nothing" - to be financed through every-increasing taxes. Supply and demand are thrown out of gear - the overhead goes up; the effective use of human energy goes down; the standard of living is lowered because money cannot buy wealth that is not produced.

    Hey, you never know. You might have turbary rights in the deeds of your house, going back yonks, even if your house is in a built-up area.

    Turbary rights are rarely deeded and are more commonly customary

    Would this make it harder or easier to make a claim?

    Re: Cutting Turf

    You will have to show title to make a claim

    We could organise a Politics.ie Scheme which would net us all about €2000 each net

    Find a few hundred acres of raised bog.

    Lease from farmer

    Grant sub leases to Scheme members

    Apply for for the compo and split 2000/ 1000/500 for Pemenbers/ bogowner/ mairteenpak

    About 500 to a thousand plots ought to do us

    How many PE members would join

    Afterwards we might do a PE housing cooperative :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
