The case in question refers to a compensation claim made by an individual in relation to the restriction on commercial turf cutting on a designated raised bog. The matter has been settled. Agreed contracts were signed on my behalf on 30 April 2009 and the compensation consideration has been paid by the Department to the Chief State Solicitor's Office (CSSO). My Department has also provided payment for the claimant's costs. These monies have been issued to the CSSO this week for forwarding to the claimant's solicitor.
