Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Development of Mayo Estates.
Mr. Boland
The holdings on the estate of W. G. Murphy, Record No. S. 5423, and on the estate of W. H. Carson, Record No. S. 6922, County Mayo, were vested in the Land Commission under Section 9 of the Land Act, 1931, and before the revesting of the holdings in the tenants, it is proposed to have these estates inspected with a view to carrying out a rearrangement of the lands and other necessary improvements. In view of the large number of estates in County Mayo requiring rearrangement, it is not possible at present to state when the work on these estates is likely to be put in hands.
