Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Collection of Land Annuities.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will state, in respect of each county, what amounts were collectable in respect of land annuities for each gale subsequent to the passing of the Land Act, 1933, and what sums were collected in respect of each such gale, by the 1st March, 1935, giving details as to the arrears then outstanding in respect of each gale.

A statement showing particulars of revised land purchase annuities collectable in each county for each of the gales, November-December, 1933, May-June, 1934, and November-December, 1934, will be circulated in the Official Report of Parliamentary Debates. The aggregate arrears in each county at the 31st January, 1935, the last date to which the accounts have been completed, will also be given. The accounts of the Land Commission are not kept in a manner to enable the other figures asked for in the Deputy's question to be readily given.

Following is the statement:
