843. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of persons who are registered with turbary rights; the average size of land that turbary rights are applied to for a dwelling; the number of the turbary rights that are currently active; the overall size and the amount that is harvested each year through the use of turbary rights; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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.
