Vol. 32 No. 14

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral—Answers. - Drainage of Leitrim Bog.

asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries if he will state if he has received the Report of the inspection made by the Land Commission with a view to the drainage of the bog in Kilmakerl, Glenfarne, on the Massey Estate, County Leitrim; to what extent he proposes to effect the drainage of this bog; and when it is intended to start work on it.

I am not in a position to answer the Deputy's question as the file is down the country, but I shall communicate with him in a week or so.

As regards the Parliamentary Secretary's inability to answer my question would he explain what is the cause of the delay, seeing that he himself on the eve of an election almost two years ago saw the bog and then promised to have the matter investigated and dealt with?

I never had the pleasure of visiting any bog in the district of Glenfarne.

I must stick to my statement. The Parliamentary Secretary visited this bog.
