Minister for Heritage and Electoral Reform, Malcolm Noonan, has announced details of a blanket bog restoration project in the Wicklow Mountains National Park today, Thursday, May 20.
The public-private project collaboration is one of the first of its kind in Ireland.
The announcement, which was also attended by Intel Ireland general manager, Eamonn Sinnott, is taking place during National Biodiversity Week.

The restoration project, taking place over the coming months, will see 60ha of drained bog rewetted to increase water storage levels in part of the River Liffey headwaters by an expected 50-90 million litres.
