1215. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a mechanism exists to allow him, as successor to the Irish Land Commission, to give a right of way to a bog to a community development group as part of a proposed walkway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38310/13]

Disposal of the bog in question is subject to the provisions of the Irish Land Commission (Dissolution) Act, 1992 and must have regard to the objectives and purposes of the former Land Commission. Consequently, I am advised that it would not be appropriate to grant such a right of way over the property in isolation from a scheme for the disposal of the land.

1216.
