View answerThe individual referred to in the Deputy’s Question applied to sell his interest in land within a site designated as a special area of conservation, under the voluntary bog purchase scheme administered by my Department.

When contracts for sale are received, they will be forwarded to the Chief State Solicitor’s Office with a view to proceeding with the purchase.
