The Minister will be familiar with Mouds, Carbury and Coolearagh, as well as other bogs, in County Kildare. Is it possible to identify those particular areas where traditional turf cutters are not anxious to relocate and find a means to resolve their difficulties? They are not a significant number of people but do feel aggrieved at being asked to relocate. They have exercised their turbary rights over the past 60 years without interruption. They could be the subject matter of an assessment by the Minister’s Department with a view to resolution.
