On Monday this week, GNR officers started their inspections of properties to guarantee privately-owned land has been properly cleaned.
Officers will also start issuing fines to property owners whose land has not been cleaned properly, but these could be scrapped if the land is cleaned satisfactorily by 31 May. Fines can range between €280 and €120,000.
The move is part of a new law to help prevent fires.
