The individual referred to in the Deputy’s Question applied to sell his interest in land within a site designated as a special area of conservation, under the voluntary bog purchase scheme administered by my Department.

Following a review of the purchase file and inspection of the lands subject of this application, a letter of offer has recently issued to the applicant’s solicitor. When contracts for sale are received, they will be forwarded to the Chief State Solicitor’s Office with a view to proceeding with the purchase.
