The ban on the sale of turf, smoky coal and wet wood came into effect on Monday
A bog owner in Edenderry says a ban on the sale of turf is an attack on rural Ireland.
A ban on the sale of turf, smoky coal, and wet wood in shops or online came into effect yesterday.
While people who burn excessive amounts of turf could face two years in jail or a fine.
The Irish Heart Foundation says pollution caused by the burning of solid fuels is bad for people's health.
However, Alan Kerrigan owns a bog just outside Edenderry,he says the ban is ridiculous:
A Donegal Cllr. says he fears a ban on the sale of turf will lead to an outright ban on burning it.
Cllr Michael Cholm Mac Giolla Easpaig says a lot of people in rural areas rely on turf to heat their homes:
