asked the Minister for Agriculture whether the estate of Mrs. Persse, of Springrove, Co. Galway, which some three years ago was sold by her to her herd, William Kenny, and of which a portion was subsequently sold by him to a number of small landholders on the estate, will be acquired by the Land Commission under the Land Act, 1923, and, if so, whether the bog purchased with the estate will be divided amongst the interested parties.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - CO. GALWAY ESTATE.
Mr. O'HIGGINS (replying for Minister for Agriculture)
The Land Commission have not yet been furnished by the owner with particulars of the lands referred to and have no information as regards them. It is assumed they come within the Land Act, 1923, and accordingly, as they are situate in a Congested Districts County, they will in due course be vested in the Land Commission, which will deal with them in the manner provided by the Land Act, 1923.
