Madam, – Bord na Móna, according to The Irish Times (June 10th), “will not open any more peatlands and expects to be out of peat within 25 years”.
Some of my British friends have translated this for an Irish readership to mean the board will not open any more bogs and expects to be out of turf within 25 years. Perhaps a clarification might be in order. – Yours, etc,
SEAMUS MARTIN,
Dublin 8.
