Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Deputy John Gormley)

In the reply to Question No. 558 of 1 July 2008, I indicated that the data sought was not available in respect of every designated bog and I undertook to provide the Deputy with information in respect of damage to a sample of 48 designated raised bogs. I wrote to the Deputy on 4 September 2008 enclosing this information.
