Preliminary work was commenced a number of years ago on the formulation of a scheme for the allotment of over one hundred turbary plots in Kilbride Bog. Considerable resources are required both administratively and on the ground to fully operate a scheme of this kind and completion of the scheme has not been possible in the last number of years. Available resources are currently deployed in the most efficient manner possible but it is not possible to provide a timeline for the completion of this turbary scheme at the present time.
