Vol. 165 No. 5

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Development of Blackwater Bog, Shannonbridge.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the cost of development of Blackwater bog, Shannonbridge, Offaly; the area developed; for what purpose it has been developed; and whether, as no power station is to be erected as proposed, the cost of development has been wasted.

Work continues on the development of this bog for milled peat production. The area involved is 5,000 acres. The answer to the last part of the question is "No".
