I am informed that contracts and title documentation in this case have been sent to the Chief State Solicitor's Office and will be executed once the site have been surveyed. Due to the large volume of applications received under the Bog Purchase Scheme, my Department has put a tender process in place to engage persons to survey sites on a contract basis in the Galway region. The tenders are currently being evaluated and my Department will shortly be in a position to survey the site and finalise this sale.
