Vol. 6 No. 22

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - YEARLY TENANTS OF TOWN PARKS.

asked the Minister for Agriculture whether yearly tenants of town parks are entitled to buy out under the Land Act of 1923, and if he is aware that some landlords are trying to exclude these tenants on the ground that the land is of potential building value, notwithstanding the fact that the building potentialities have not in a great many cases been availed of for a number of years.

Mr. HOGAN

Town parks are not excluded from the Land Act, 1923, by reason of being town parks, but there may be in any particular case other reasons for their exclusion. Whether any land possesses a substantial value or utility, whether potential or actual as building ground, is a matter of fact in each case to be determined by the Land Commission after hearing all parties concerned and all the facts of the case.
