The EPA have handed over findings of unregulated peat extraction in 17 midlands bogs.
Turf cutters didn't apply for the permissions and licences introduced in new peat regulations.
It's believed that's why so many are falling foul of a recent EPA investigation.
In 2019, a regulatory framework was introduced requiring turf cutters to apply for EPA licenses and planning permissions depending on a number of factors.
The EPA have handed over their findings to seven local authorities in relation to 38 bogs of particular concern, 17 of which are located across Offaly and Westmeath.
Caroline O'Doherty of the Irish Independent says the regulations put in place are not being used:
