Information on turbary rights is held by the Property Registration Authority of Ireland and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine as successor to the Irish Land Commission. I also understand that Bord na Móna holds records of turbary rights allocated by it.

My Department receives information on turbary rights from individuals who have applied for compensation under the raised bog Cessation of Turf Cutting Compensation Scheme.
