I advise the Deputy that whilst my Department does have extensive documentation in relation to turbary rights, records of which were transferred to it by the former Irish Land Commission, the statistical information necessary to respond to the specific queries raised by the Deputy has never been compiled by my Department.
In these circumstances, it is not feasible to provide the specific statistical information sought by the Deputy.
