This bog was allocated last year in some 26 plots. The unusually soft nature of the bog inhibited the use of machinery and the Land Commission experienced great difficulty in draining it. They will consider undertaking further drainage work next year but the success of the whole operation will ultimately depend on the cooperation of the allottees in the proper working of the bog.
