As I advised the Deputy in my reply to Question No 395 of 3 July last, contracts for sale had been forwarded by my Department to the Chief State Solicitor’s Office to progress the sale by the individual referred to in the Deputy’s Question of his interest in land within a site designated as a special area of conservation, under the voluntary bog purchase scheme administered by my Department. These contracts are expected to be returned to my Department shortly and will then be reviewed by the relevant officials. Provided that there are no outstanding issues, I am advised that the contracts will be signed with a view to closing the sale.
