asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries if he will state why the three farms on the Sligo Estate, Louisburgh district, vacated by Andrew Stanton, John Stanton, and Thomas Malley have been let in conacre to people who have already received additions; whether he will state why five others who signed for those holdings for years past are deprived of any advantage that might arise had the contract entered into been completed; and, further, whether he will state when those five tenants may expect to have their cases settled.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - LETTING OF SLIGO LANDS.
The holdings in the townland of Feenune, vacated by Andrew Stanton, John Stanton and Thomas Malley are let in grazing to the smaller tenants in this townland to whom it was originally decided to allot the lands as additions to their holdings.
The Land Commission is not aware of any arrangements to allot the lands in question to five other tenants.
The re-sale of the holdings to the tenants in Feenune will be proceeded with as soon as circumstances permit.
