asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he is aware that there are bogs in South Kerry, especially in the Caherciveen area, suitable for machine development; if he will state if Bord na Móna have yet made a detailed survey of these bogs; and if the board has come to any decision on the matter.

I would refer the Deputy to the answer given to a similar question by him on this subject on 9th July last since when, I am informed, there has been no change in the position.
