Written answers

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mary Coughlan)

Bogland is generally disposed of under section 8 of the Irish Land Commission (Dissolution) Act 1992. My Department is not aware of available bog in the vicinity of Foxford. However, the person named should contact my Department inspector at the Square, Castlerea, County Roscommon with a view to exchanging details.
