asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries whether he will state if the Land Commission is about to acquire the farm of Mr. Thomas Poynton, situate at Bondvilla, Lecarrow, County Roscommon, and comprising about 60 Irish acres.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Lecarrow Lands (Roscommon).
If the Deputy refers to the lands of Galeybeg, the representatives of Thomas Poynton have been returned in the schedules lodged by the owner (John S. Greene) in connection with the sale of his estate under the Land Act, 1923, as tenants of some 10 acres (statute) of the lands. This estate has not yet been reached in its turn to be dealt with, and until it is being dealt with it is not possible to say what action the Land Commission may take as regards this holding.
Thomas Poynton appears also to be the owner of some 96 acres (statute) of the same lands, and there are not at present any proceedings pending for their acquisition.
