asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the numbers of acres of land (a) acquired and (b) divided in the County Kildare for each of the calendar years from 1924 to 1933, inclusive.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Acquisition and Division of Kildare Estates.
The reply is in the form of a tabular statement, which will be circulated in the Official Report of Parliamentary Debates. I would, however, ask the Deputy to accept the figures for the respective financial rather than calendar years, as the Land Commission Statistics are made up for financial years and accordingly the figures for the calendar years are not readily available. Following is the statement:—
IRISH LAND COMMISSION.
LAND ACTS, 1923-33.
Area of Untenanted Land (a) acquired and (b) divided in County Kildare for each financial year since the 1st April, 1923.
