As set out in the reply to Question no. 11 on 25 November 2010, I intend to revert to Government shortly regarding the arrangements for those who have been affected by the requirement to cease turf cutting on protected raised bogs. The provision of compensation will be considered in that context, having regard to the overall resources available to my Department from the Exchequer and the Environment Fund.
