Paul Connaughton
Ceist:210 Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if his attention has been drawn to the fact that there is widespread opposition to the proposal to transfer the fee simple and rights of turbary on plot Nos. 7, 17, 19, 25-33, 44-49, 52, on 10.307 hectares in the townland of Meelickmore, Barony of Dunmore, County Galway from the Irish Land Commission to the National Parks and Wildlife Service; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that the transfer of fee simple only and subject to rights of turbary of plot Nos. 22, 23, 24 are also involved; if he is aware that the local landholders adjacent to this property tendered to purchase these bogs a number of years ago but were never notified of the result and urgently want this process to be stopped, particularly in view of the difficult circumstances that many bog owners now find themselves in across the country; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
