asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries when he intends to divide the lands acquired by the Land Commission in County Carlow, and whether, in view of the fact that the distribution of such lands amongst landless men and uneconomic holders would give much-needed employment in the matter of the fencing of such lands, etc., in the county, he will undertake to expedite the division of these lands before Christmas.
