Vol. 191 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Wicklow Forest Fire.

37.

asked the Minister for Lands if any investigation has been held into the cause of the forest fire at the Glen of the Downs, County Wicklow; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Garda investigation of the cause of this fire has not been completed. As a question of legal proceedings may arise, it would not be proper for me to make any statement in the matter at the moment.

The fire was fortunately contained before grievous damage resulted. The care which needs to be exercised by all members of the Community near Forestry plantations cannot be overstressed.
