As indicated in the reply to Question No. 259 of 14 December 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, within the overall financial resources available to my Department.
