This time last year we were told by the then Minister, Deputy Deenihan, that another round of designations would take place. At the time, he gave a commitment to the House that within a number of months those bogs would be listed and there would be consultation with the people cutting turf on them. We are now 12 months down the road but we still have not received the list of new designations that will take place, and further turf cutters who have established rights on these bogs will have those rights denied because we have not yet published the relevant list.
