It's bad enough having turfcutters branded as criminals and having round-the-clock Garda patrols to monitor them while gangs like that lot in Tipp can drive around freely.
Now there is another problem...people stealing turf. My neighbour has a reek of turf in the bog which he hasn't room for in his shed yet. However, over the past few weeks a small bit was taken but lately the amount has seriously increased.As there is little chance of constant patrols I'm looking for ideas to catch/identify/immobilise the culprits. I suggested hiding a cartridge in a sod - sure to get 'spectacular' results unless this hoor is selling it to some unsuspecting person. Any suggestions out there....keep them reasonably legitimate!!!!!

Can he hide a trail camera somewhere. Wouldn't be admissible evidence but might give some clues. Bog probably not the best place for hiding one.

You should have been a better neighbour and helped him draw it home during the summer and he wouldn't have any problem. Sure you have the perfect tractor for it and all :-)

Until the designation gets spread across other bogs. Watch that space.

I heard that in Roscommon they had a novel way of getting around the wording of the act which stopped them from cutting. Basically the act states that you cannot cut turf from your turf bank and spread it on your bank. So the machines went in early one morning and cut every man's turf from his own bank but spread each hopper out on the next man's bank. When the inspector came in, each landowner that had turf spread on his bank told him "that's not my turf and it wasn't cut from my turf bank"

They are still drawing turf off that bank every time I pass it

I hope not.

The price of timber has gone through the roof. Anyone without enough land to grow their own firewood is facing an awful expense. €1650 is the latest quote for a 25 ton load. At that price, oil would be cheaper and a hell of a lot handier!

A 25 ton would last a long time surlly,I have a trailer of timber on the way,usually just burn turf,decided to see if timber is any better.
Paid 350 for a trailer of turf,timber will be 130.put 600 euro in the oil tank a month ago.

As the lady who can't be mentioned would say "FOOK"
First a phuckin eejit, me left a gate open and a cow walked into a slurry pit. We fished her out with loader and chain, all well.

Dried some cows this am and a phuckin eejit left a gate open and allowed them mix, not me this time. We usually dry after milking but only a few this am so he did as milked. For good luck he put yellow tape on their tails.

So alls well that ends well, no porridge till 10am though, will be able to go for the day now???

25 ton load will heat my house for 2 years because I have a specialised boiler for heating. With a basic range or stove you're looking at a little more than a year.

You also have to factor in the time taken to process the timber and the time taken to light, fill and clean the burning appliance.

Should've bought a Massey from your other neighbour, good hand brake on them.

That could've been much worse[/QUOTE

Had to go with that yoke, trying to keep the lad beside us happy and hopefully get all them nice big empty sheds that are now idle.
Still cant fathom what happened, was in the dairy at that time washing the bulk tank when I see the tractor fly-by the window 3 feet away from us and into the bin, was a blast of wind that made it take-off, how the handbrake gave when she was on the flat beats me.

Thanks for the heads up on the sheds, I must give Winkey a call!!!!
