Written Answers. - Regeneration of Bogland.

Denis Naughten

Ceist:

431 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for the Environment Heritage and Local Government the research results of a study conducted in County Westmeath on the regeneration of the top element of bog which is surplus to the requirement for turf cutting; if this study has indicated that this type of regeneration is as effective, if not more effective, than a blanket ban on turf cutting; if he will lay the results of the study before Dáil Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16575/03]

My Department has not seen the research study to which the question refers. If the Deputy wishes to supply details, my Department will be pleased to examine it.
