asked the Minister for Lands and Agriculture whether the Land Commission is yet in a position to issue separate Receivable Orders for the allottees of the lands of Mr. W. Copley, Croghtenclogh, Co. Kilkenny, applied for in June, 1925, and whether the Land Commission is now satisfied that the society which initiated the purchase of said lands is defunct for over three years.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - CO. KILKENNY LAND.
Mr. HOGAN
The lands held by the Coolbawn Co-operative Farming Society, Limited, have been vested in the Land Commission under Part III of the Land Act, 1923, and, from the date of vesting, the Society is deemed under the provisions of the Act, to have entered into a subsequent purchase agreement for the purchase of the lands from the Land Commission. Section 54 provides that the annual sum fixed is payable by the Society as a whole and the Land Commission has no authority to issue receivable orders to the individual members of the Society pending division. The Land Commission is not aware that the Society has ceased to function.
