Irish Gathering Peat 100 Yrs Ago & Irish Weavers' Rugged Life
An Irish Weavers' Rugged Remote Life & Irish Community Gathering Peat 100 Years Ago
Irish Central, 5 DEC 2020. It is an activity involving the whole community, notes the IFI. Even the local priest is involved in overseeing the sacks of turf loaded onto a barge before being transported by canal. ‘Rathangan’ is inscribed on the side of the barge and a man waves an ‘Up Kildare’ flag in the shot. The turf is possibly extracted from the Bog of Allen – a large, raised bogland stretching over 5 counties in Ireland. In the 19th and early 20th century, non-agriculturally viable bogland was Ireland’s primary indigenous fuel resource. It is estimated that 6 million tonnes of sod turf was produced in 1921. In Ireland today, a focus has shifted to a more environment-friendly energy production and there has been an attempt to restore Irish boglands.
