asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the reason for the delay in the allotting of bog plots in the Newport area, County Mayo, in view of the amount of bog available in the area.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Allotment of Turbary Plots in Newport (Mayo).
84.
With a view to supplementing a small remnant of bog on hands in this area, on which seasonal lettings are at present being made available, the Land Commission are endeavouring to acquire about 160 acres of turbary in the district but possession has not yet been obtained. The proceedings are being expedited as much as possible.
Do the 160 acres represent the property of one person or do they comprise a number of acquisitions?
Speaking from recollection I would say they are from one person.
