Written Answers. - Bogs Drainage.

477.

asked the Minister for Finance when money will be made available to drain the Ashfield/Clonard, Blackshade and Molreick bogs to enable this 300 acre bogland to be used commercially.

The feasibility of draining the area in question, with a view to improving the land for agricultural purposes, under the Boyne Drainage Scheme was considered and the proposal was found to be uneconomic. Accordingly the area was not included in the drainage scheme.
