The Irish Peatland Conservation Council was established in 1982.[2]: 2
The council's headquarters and a retail outlet are located at the Bog of Allen Nature Centre, Lullymore, Rathangan, County Kildare. Its offices and a shop had previously been situated on Capel Street in Dublin city centre.[2]: 1
IPCC's conservation aims and objectives are set out in a series of Action Plans, the most recent[when?] being the Bogs and Fens of Ireland Conservation Plan 2005. An account of the first fifteen years of the Save the Bogs campaign is contained in Save the Bogs Story. IPCC also produces a semi-annual campaign newsletter titled Peatland News.[citation needed]
The IPCC is a registered charity, is not routinely state-funded and thus relies primarily on public support.[1] It is a member of the Irish Environmental Network, a grouping of Irish environmental NGOs.[citation needed]
