Mr. Cowen
The most suitable arrangements to give effect to the Government's decision in relation to the transfer of Clara Bog from Bord na Móna to my Department are at present being examined in consultation with the Chief State Solicitor's Office and I am hopeful that any difficulties arising will be quickly resolved.
