Vol. 72 No. 3

Written Answers. - Mayo Bog Road.

asked the Minister for Lands if he is aware that over 50 tenants in the townlands of Barneygreggaun, Moonard, Ballinkleva, Rathduff and Kilnagower, Claremorris, County Mayo, are unable to remove their turf from the Harefield bog owing to the failure of the Land Commission to complete the road through that bog; that the Commissioners of Public Works cannot carry out this work in the Electoral Division of Mayo owing to the number of persons on the unemployment register; and if he will state what steps, if any, are about to be taken by the Land Commission to have the road through that bog put in condition to enable the tenants to remove their turf.

The holdings which the accommodation road referred to would serve have been vested in the tenant-purchasers and the Land Commission do not propose to expend funds on the work.
