The Land Commission have received representations from the Rathearn branch of the Labour Party requesting that a roadway should be provided to the residence of Mr. Michael Tuite through the lands of Drissoge the property of Miss Catherine Ledwith. From enquiries made by the Land Commission, it appears that the dwelling of Michael Tuite and the dwellings of the ten families referred to are already served by a right of way for all purposes, but access to the residence of Michael Tuite is difficult, especially during winter months, owing to the state of the ground. The Land Commission have noted the matter for consideration in the event of the lands of Drissoge being acquired.
