Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Turf Cutting Machines for Kerry Bogs.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he is aware of bog areas in South Kerry ranging from two to six square miles at (a) Glencar district; (b) Emlaghpasta and Aghatubrid; (c) Coars, Grann and Filemore districts which are suitable for the use of turf cutting machines, and if he will have the districts investigated immediately and report made thereon with a view to the provision of the necessary machinery by the Turf Board.

Steps are being taken to survey in detail the areas in County Kerry which appear to be suitable for the machine winning of turf.
