asked the Minister for Energy the quantities of milled and sod peat supplied by Bord na Móna to the ESB in each of the last five years.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - ESB Peat Supply.
The information requested by the Deputy is in the form of a tabular statement which I propose to circulate in the Official Report. The figures given relate to the financial years 1978-79, 1979-80, 1980-81, 1981-82 and 1982-83 and are taken from Bord na Móna's annual report for 1982-83. Information is not yet available for 1983-84. However, it will be available in Bord na Móna's annual report for the year ended 31 March 1984 which will be published later this year.
