Contracts were prepared in respect of this application to sell bogland to my Department under the Designated Bog Compensation Scheme. However, recently it was found that the ownership of some of the land proposed for sale is in question. Consequently, the vendor's solicitor has asked to have the draft contract revised to exclude this land.

My Department, through the Chief State Solicitor's Office, will make contact with the vendor's solicitor as soon as issues arising from this have been resolved.
