That includes Kildare.
220 jobs have been assigned in 8 counties, including Kildare, in Bord na Móna’s large-scale peatlands restoration project.
BnM is headquartered in Newbridge.
The project aims to rehabilitate 33,000 hectares of peatlands.
Bord na Mona is reassigning employees from peat harvesting activities into rehabilitation operation.
The Minister for the Environment, Eamon Ryan, says "It is estimated that over the period to 2050, 3.2 million tonnes of CO2 emissions will be avoided (including an amount of future carbon sequestration), in comparison to a standard rehabilitation scenario."
The other counties in which staff have been re-assigned are: Galway, Meath, Westmeath, Offaly, Roscommon, Laois and Longford,
Minister Ryan says "All 19 individual bog plan packages that have been submitted to the NPWS for approval have been approved for works. Of these approved bog plan packages, equipment has been mobilised and rehabilitation measures have commenced on 16 bogs. Monitoring and verification of the impact of the works is also progressing, in particular with relation to surface water monitoring. Plans for the 2022 programme of works on a further 21 bogs in the Midlands region are being advanced."
