Time to save our bog!!

[Lemanaghan Bog Heritage and Conservation Group @Lemanaghan_bog]

Healthy raised bogs support rare habitats, protected species and biodiversity recovery. Industrial construction fragments ecosystems and reverses years of conservation & Bord na Móna rehabilitation. Climate action must protect nature, not sacrifice it. Right project. Right place

[Lemanaghan Bog Heritage and Conservation Group @Lemanaghan_bog]

Ireland’s peat bogs are critical CO2 sinks. Construction on bogland drainage, access roads & deep turbine foundations degrades peat & releases stored CO₂, undermining our Climate Action Plan, peatland restoration goals & EU nature law. We must cut emissions not create new ones.

For context: 220m turbines are nearly twice the height of the Spire and taller than anything else in Ireland — equivalent to a 70‑storey building, proposed for rural bogland near homes. Scale and siting matter.

233 turbines now operational, approved or proposed within County Offaly, up to 220m high. 55 more when crossing into boarding county are included. Our peatlands, biodiversity and rural landscapes cannot absorb endless industrialisation.

@Micklyons33 @offalyindo @TullamoreTrib Can energy security be achieved without sacrificing local communities and heritage?

Help stop the proposed 220m wind turbines at Lemanaghan.
Serious noise, shadow flicker & health impacts already reported near a similar Offaly wind farm.
Every share helps 👉

Following Storm Eowny in 2025 trees were uprooted in St Mella’s Cell uncovering Early Medieval
Human remains. Radiocarbon dating has confirmed the date between the 7th and 10th centuries AD, decades of the death of St Manchán, founder of the Lemanaghan monastery in AD 664.
