asked the Minister for Lands if he is aware that a number of people in Lettermore, Lettercallow, Tiernee and Lettermullen are still without turbary rights; and what action the Land Commission propose to take in the matter.
I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to take questions Nos. 42 and 43 together.
I am aware that, despite the provision by the Land Commission of upwards of 300 turbary plots in South Connemara in recent years, there is still a considerable number of applicants for turbary in the townlands mentioned. All practical steps are being taken by the Land Commission with a view to catering as soon as possible for the needs of those applicants by the acquisition and development of additional bogs in the locality.
