Bord na Móna has surveyed a number of bogs in the neighbourhood of Ballygar, County Galway, but there are major arterial drainage difficulties which hamper the economic development of these bogs. The drainage problem is under consideration by the board.
Could the Minister say when the survey was carried out?
I understand that the board are considering the arterial drainage aspect of the problem at the moment.
