HC Deb 23 April 1917 vol 92 c2050W
Mr. P. WHITE

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether note is being kept that, to provide turf fuel for next winter, preparations should be made at the beginning of next month; and whether people living in the neighbourhood of bogs in county Meath, if they make application, will have their necessities considered, and to whom should they apply?

Mr. DUKE

The County Committees of Agriculture have been asked to direct the attention of owners of bogs and of those engaged in cutting turf to the importance of making special efforts this year to secure an increased supply of fuel. Applications for leave to cut turf should be addressed to the owners of bogs.
