Written Answers. - Turbary Rights.
Turbary rights over the plots in question are reserved to the Irish Land Commission. The person in question has had letting of turbary in this area for many years and has made application to purchase the turbary rights. There is, however, a large backlog of turbary schemes yet to be completed. They are being processed in chronological order as quickly as resources will allow. It will, therefore, be some time before this application is processed.
