Vol. 15 No. 16

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - FEE FARM GRANTEES AND THE ACT OF 1923.

asked the Minister for Lands and Agriculture if he is aware that dissatisfaction exists among farmers holding land under fee farm grants owing to the fact that they do not come within the definition of "tenanted land" under Section 73 (2) of the Land Act, 1923, and, consequently, are debarred from obtaining the reduction given under Sections 19 and 20 of the same Act to tenants of holdings to which the Act applies, and, further, if it is the intention of the Executive Council to introduce legislation to put fee farm grantees on the same level with tenants who come within the Land Act, 1923, and. if so, when such legislation may be expected; also, if many of the holders of fee farm grants took advantage of Section 38 of the Land Act, 1923, which provided special facilities for them to redeem their rents.

I would ask the Deputy to repeat this question to-morrow when the Minister for Lands and Agriculture will be present.
