asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries whether he will consider the advisability of letting the tenants of Cloughmore, Achill, turbary on the Pike Estate, which is at present in the hands of the Irish Land Commission, and upon which they can obtain turf within one mile and a half of their homes.

The Land Commission will consider whether the tenants at Cloughmore can be provided with turbary on the lands referred to.

I wish to remind the Parliamentary Secretary that the people concerned in the Cloughmore district have to go fourteen miles by sea for turf in the winter, and that it is important that they should get turf in that district.

I think I informed the Deputy last week that this turbary was quite useless to these people unless a road was made into the bog and that the people through whose land the road will pass object to its being made.

I do not know that the people who object have anything to do with the land except they are grazing it.

They have signed agreements for this land.

If they are all cotenants I do not see why the Land Commission should not give them the turbary required and make the road compulsorily, if necessary.

We have enough compulsion.
