asked the Minister for Lands if it is proposed to introduce proposals for legislation to abolish the question of tithe rent charges on lands.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Tithe Rent Charges on Lands.
It is not proposed to introduce legislation on these lines.
Have the Government any policy in connection with this relic of the penal laws?
Mr. Boland
I should like to remind the Deputy, or anyone else who does not know, that this is not a relic of the penal laws, as I am informed it dates from pre-Christian times. It has come right down from them.
