Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Kerry Turbary.

8.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the total acreage of turbary acquired by the Land Commission at Bawnmore, Listowel, County Kerry; in what year it was taken over; and when is it proposed to allocate it.

Ninety-nine acres of this bog were acquired in December, 1954. The possibility of acquiring an adjacent bog, for the purpose of a comprehensive scheme, is being examined and it is not yet possible to indicate when this turbary can be developed and allocated but there will be no avoidable delay.

9.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the total acreage of turbary in the possession of the Land Commission at Ballingare, Lix-naw, County Kerry; in what year it was acquired; and when it is proposed to divide it.

There is a residue of 54 acres of bog on hands at Ballynagare, being the balance of 283 acres acquired in 1928. If possible, this residue will be allocated next spring.
