A man collecting peat from the peat bogs near Lisdoonvarna (Lios Dúin Bhearna), County Clare, Ireland in the 1960s. The peat is on a cart being pulled by a donkey. Donkeys were a common site on farms in Ireland. The animal is wearing special boots (hoof boots) to allow it to work on the boggy ground of the peat bogs. The dried peat was commonly burnt for domestic heating. This image is from an old amateur colour transparency – a vintage 1960s photograph.
