asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the cause of the delay in letting a few vacant turf banks on the Land Commission estate (Fitzpatrick, formerly Lord Castletown, Record No. 9705), and if it is proposed to let the vacant banks for the present turf-cutting season.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Castletown Turbary Lettings.
As I informed the Deputy on the 22nd April last in reply to a question, the only turbary on the lands of the Land Commission on this estate comprises two plots which were refused by the approved applicants. It is expected that these plots will be allotted at an early date so the question of making seasonal lettings does not arise.
Will the vacant plots be allotted so that they may be used during the turf cutting season? What is the terrible diplomatic difficulty about setting two turf banks?
