SEAN O LAIDHIN

asked the Minister for Lands and Agriculture whether the Land Commission will, for the relief of congestion, take over the farm on the Eustace, Kilgarvan Estate, situated at Ballinahown, Westmeath, consisting of one hundred Irish acres, which was sold by the former owner, Mrs. Johnson, Newtown, Moate, on the 14th February, 1925, to Mr. Thomas Dolan, Shannonbridge, Offaly, who already held two hundred and eighty acres, in view of the large number of uneconomic holding in the Ballinahown district.

In the schedule of particulars lodged by the owner of the Eustace estates with the Land Commission for the purpose of the Land Act, 1923, Mrs. Anne Johnson is shown as tenant of a holding in the townland of Kilgarven Glebe containing 180 acres 1 rood 23 perches held under a judicial tenancy.
