asked the Minister for Lands if he will state when the Land Commission propose to divide the balance of the Alasty estate, Straffan, County Kildare.
Mr. Boland
The estate in question would appear to be the resumed holding in the townland of Alasty formerly in the occupation of the Munster and Leinster Bank. The Land Commission are not yet in a position to say when the remainder of the lands on this holding will be allotted.
Would the Minister say what is causing the delay in allocating the balance?
Mr. Boland
I am not in a position to say what is the cause.
It is only the Land Commission that can distribute this land. They have distributed some of it. Would the Minister tell us what is the delay in the distribution of the remainder?
Mr. Boland
I am not in a position to say.
Even for the Land Commission, that is a bit humorous.
