Gorse
Last Friday was the last day when farmers could legally burn gorse on their land until the new season opens in September. Following a change to the law some years ago, which reduced the burning season, farmers burning gorse land from now until the season opens will be liable to prosecution. Brian O’Connell spent time in the Derrynasaggert Mountains close to Killarney, last Friday witnessing some gorse fires.
