CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - ACQUISITION OF CO. CORK ESTATES.
Mr. HOGAN
Up to the present date 1,557 acres of untenanted land in County Cork have been acquired by the Land Commission under the Land Act, 1923, for the purpose of distribution. Of this area 998 acres have already been distributed among 32 allottees; two of the parcels were allotted to evicted tenants and the remainder were utilised for the enlargement of existing holdings and the creation of new holdings.
Mr. MURPHY
Am I to understand that the answer referred to the County Cork? My question relates only to portion of the county.
Mr. HOGAN
I am almost certain that the answer relates to the portion indicated in the question, but I will make sure.
Mr. MURPHY
I am afraid not.
