asked the Minister for Lands and Agriculture if he is aware that the tenants on the Whit-croft Estate, Legan, Moate, now transferred to the Land Commission, paid the landlord's income tax each year, which was allowed for by the landlord out of the next gale of rent; that when receivable orders for compounded arrears were issued no allowance was made by the Land Commission in respect of the payment of tax; that when tenants deduct the amount of income tax when paying direct to the Land Commission their receipts and cheques are withheld; and whether the Land Commission will in future accept rents, less income tax, from all such tenants and forward receipts.

Owing to the short notice given of this question, I have been unable to get all the information which the Deputy requires. I shall be glad, therefore, if he repeats the question next week.
It can be repeated for Wednesday next.
