Vol. 15 No. 8

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - KILMARTIN ESTATE (CO. MAYO).

asked the Minister for Lands and Agriculture if he is aware that acute congestion exists on the Kilmain Estate, Manulla, Co. Mayo, and if he will state the cause of the delay in dividing the farm of five hundred and fifty acres taken by the Land Commission from Mrs. Cannon, Knockmore, Manulla, Castlebar, over two years ago for the relief of congestion.

Mr. HOGAN

The Land Commission anticipate that the lands of Knockmore Eighter and Knockmore Oughter, acquired by them on the estate of Mrs. Bridget Cannon, comprising 555 acres or thereabouts, will be divided at an early date.

I may say that the lands were only acquired by the Land Commission within, I think, the last year, and I also think that they are divided at present.
