To my knowledge there are no (carnivorous) plants _endemic_ to Ireland,
however several species are to be found in the peat bogs (those remaining
after peat cutting, anyway).

Some (controversial) attempts were made to introduce Sarracenia purpurea
ssp. purpurea (I believe this is the correct ssp), presumably these plants
still survive.

_Pinguicula vulgaris_ and _P. grandiflora_ should both be in evidence, in
addition to _Drosera rotundifolia_ and _D. intermedia_.

Regards,

Toby
