Question 728: To ask the Minister for Agriculture and Food if a person with ten shares of turbary rights is entitled to keep these rights even if all the land around the bog, including the bog in question, is sold; if the new owner has rights to dig away a bog positioned beside a river; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

This person appears to have turbary rights appurtenant to his folio, over other lands in the same townland. The interests of the various parties, fee simple and turbary right owners are protected by both statute and common law. Disputes arising between the various interest holders are matters for resolution between the parties either by negotiation or by way of application to court. Disputes of this nature are not matters for my Department to resolve.
