I asked the Minister would the processing and development of bogs continue in Derryfadda as I have informed him that thousands of tonnes of milled peat are now being transported out of the area?

The question referred only to the grant, Deputy.

I did not get an answer.

That is a separate question.

Is the Minister positively in favour of this project going ahead? What is the Government position? Have Bord na Móna, the Minister, or the Department any plans for the extension of sod peat production in any other bogs in the west in 1986?

The Chair must draw the Deputy's attention to the question which asks about the payment of grants to Bord na Móna. This is a very short question.

While they are separate questions, if the Deputies who have an interest in the west wish to discuss matters pertaining to turf production or the efforts of Bord na Móna in the west, I will have no difficulty discussing them with them at any time in my office.
