In the past, Irish people heated their homes and cooked their food using turf (or peat) taken from the bog as fuel. Turf was cut from the bog by hand, using a two-sided spade called a sleán. Entire families often helped to save the turf on the bog. Turf cutting is now prohibited in most bogs in Ireland under new legislation to protect the ecological make up of the bogs. However, in some parts in Ireland, turf cutting is still permitted and practiced by the old time method by hand. Seán Ó Cuinn from Kerry in the south West of Ireland still cuts turf on the hill. In order to protect the beautiful flora, fauna and life on the hill, Seán brings his donkey, Billy to transport the turf back down the hill to his home.

Oh my goodness!!!!! I recognize this man!
I'm looking for videos on turf cutting as I'm writing a paper on this topic. But then I saw this man, Sean, and it hit me --- a friend and I met him on our 2023 trip to Ireland!!! We asked if we could park our car on the street outside his house as we wanted to hike up the hill. When we came back down, he invited us in for some tea! We talked, and he even showed us a photo of his donkey!!!!!!
When we got back home from our trip, we sent him some photos that we took up on that hill as well as a photo of him that we took before leaving. I hope he's doing well!
What a crazy coincidence that I would find Sean here on RUclips!!
A wonderful glimpse of Irish tradition. In one of the most beautiful spots in the world, no less!
God bless the turf cutters. Their hard work has warmed many, many generations of Irish families. There is also something special about the fact that a landscape that is often so rugged can offer up a bounty so great, which pretty much sums up the beauty of Ireland in a nutshell. 🇮🇪
RUclips is a great tool as well. It will Preserves a lot of History. RUclips is only 11 years old.
I miss Kerry and the old ways.
Watching this piece from the Dingle Peninsula in Kerry helps me value the simple things in life.
That man is a rare breed, and a good one at that
What an extremely beautiful part of the world.
Thank-you! So beautiful!
Is breá liom an boladh a bhaineann le móin a dhó. Tá an físeán an-deas. Go raibh maith agat. Gearrthóir móna a bhí i m’athair sular tháinig sé go Meiriceá.

Ba chóir duit teacht anseo chun samhradh amháin a chaitheamh sa Ghaeltacht agus beidh tú beagnach chomh líofa is atá mise ina dhiadh, gealaim é sin duit.
Dun Na Ngal no Gaelibh?? Bain sult as ar aon chaoi 👍
Bhuel... Cen sceal 👍 Gaelige i Baile Atha Clia Maith thu. Bron ormsa nil fada ar mo mhobile. Beidir la amhain aris i nhEireinn - ba bhaith liom na seannos agus gach craic ansin ann..
Preciso viver num lugar assim , que maravilha ...
Well in seanie
Nice work. Thanks
Great video
IDK why, but whenever I watch this video I feel very sad.
No wonder! Our country is been destroyed day by day. Ireland is in a worse state than the Famine.
Can someone please tell me the name of that beautiful fiddle tune in this video? Thanks! ☘️
Its nice to show a bit of the old traditions , The rope from the creels going around the donkeys neck is to narrow,
In Donegal we never used a rope between the creels it affects the windpipe of the Donkey,
The head collar is also a bit shabby,
Cen sceal deasa a chairde ❤
Awesome. How long does a few pieces of turf burn?
About a half hour.
Depends how dry it is, if some thick bastard leaves it out on the bog too long it'll crumble and burn like paper
great views where was the donkey when this was filmed
Piece is from Kerry. On Dingle peninsula overlooking the Blasket ISLANDS. Feothanach is mentioned in the piece. A village not far from where "Ryans Daughter" was made.
Beautiful countryside.
Deas é
I've never seen a black Hobbit!
Waste of time turf is the worst fuel for the fire better with blocks and coal
It’s the tradition that is being celebrated and continued.
Not a waste of time
Nil ceart. In aur teach bhi turf go leor i conai.. bhi nios fearr (bron ormsa nil fada ar mo mhobile)
@@eilis23 what's that mean in English?
We are irish, I suggest u go learn it if u are born and bred here u imbecile. You cannot even understand your own first language let alone speak it, how despicable and what a weakling u truly are !
