My Department and the Chief State Solicitor's Office have not yet concluded their work on this file. This is one of a number of applications under this scheme that relate to the raised bog Special Areas of Conservation on which the derogation allowing continued turf-cutting has now ended. Applications relating to these sites, including the application in question, are being prioritised for processing by my Department, which will be in further contact with the applicant as soon as possible.
