Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Connemara Turbary.

14.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the number of applicants along the South Connemara coast from Spiddal to Lettermullen who are seeking turbary plots for personal use, and who have been unable to obtain any; and what action he proposes to take in the matter.

There are some 275 applications for turbary pending in this district and the Land Commission are exploring the possibility of acquiring and developing bogs at Shannagurraun, Kilroe West, Boliska Eighter and Muckinakillew to meet the demand. Since 1952, the Land Commission have allotted over 300 turbary plots in this district.
