‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Roscommon Bogs Survey. Land Commission bogs and development options
Summary
Connor raised concerns that Bord na Móna might exercise options over Land Commission bogs, affecting private commercial development; the Minister said the surveys were open to interested parties.
I asked the Minister for Agriculture before Christmas to give me the terms on the bogs in County Roscommon in the possession of the Irish Land Commission. According to the Minister's reply, Bord na Móna seem to imply that they wish to exercise their options over them. This question is germane to people in private development. It is vital to people with private commercial interests to develop this small, uneconomic tract of bogland.
