asked the Minister for Lands whether the Land Commission proposes to acquire the estate of Mr. P. Dempsey at Ballysoogan, Rathangan, for division.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rathangan (Kildare) Estate.
The question would appear to refer to two holdings purchased under the Land Purchase Acts in the townlands of Ballysoogan and Cushaling, of which Mr. W.P. Dempsey is the registered owner. There are no proceedings for acquisition by the Land Commission at present pending in respect of these lands.
Can the Parliamentary Secretary say whether he proposes to take any steps to acquire this large estate?
Yes.
