Question 404: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the reason a person (details supplied) in County Galway has not been paid for a bog under the designated bog compensation scheme in view of the fact that they were the registered owner of the property when the deal was concluded; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that another person who is now the registered owner has been informed that they will get a lower level of compensation due to the fact that they have inherited the bog; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Under the Designated Bog Compensation Scheme an incentive bonus may be payable to a vendor who was, at 1 July 2004, the registered owner of the property in sale. The vendor in this case was not the registered owner at that date and is therefore not entitled to the bonus under the terms of the scheme.
