Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 September 2006
1475 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the reason his Department does not intend to purchase a blanket bog from a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28602/06]
View answerThe person referred to applied in December 2005 to my Department to sell an area of bog under the Designated Bog Compensation Scheme which supports the purchase by my Department of raised bog in designated areas. As the land offered lay within blanket bog, rather than raised bog, it was not possible to accede to the application.
