821. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if legal clarification has been agreed regarding whether uninterrupted turf cutting in succession since the 1970s on a plot unassigned by the Land Commission may be combined to give a 30 year right of prescription over the plot; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
