Question 147: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will provide a list and maps of the exact bogs in County Mayo where non-commercial turf cutting must cease following the ending of the derogation granted in 1999. [24062/10]

The derogation given in 1999 to allow a continuation of turf-cutting by land owners and turbary right owners for their own domestic use has now elapsed for two Special Areas of Conservation located in Co. Mayo. These are Flughany Bog SAC and River Moy SAC. The areas in the River Moy SAC where turf cutting restrictions apply from this year are those bogs previously designated as part of the Derrynabrock Bog and Tawnaghbeg Bog SACs which have now been subsumed into the larger River Moy SAC. I will have maps of these bog sites made available to the Deputy.
