Vol. 74 No. 15

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Acquisition of Tipperary Lands.

asked the Minister for Lands if the Land Commission has acquired the Purcell estate, Hill's Lot, Cashel. County Tipperary, and, if so, when its division will take place.

The Land Commission have not yet acquired the lands of Hill's Lot and Lalor's Lot on the Purcell estate and, at the present stage, it is not possible to state when the lands will be divided.

asked the Minister for Lands if he has taken any steps to acquire the Green estate, Cappamurragh, Dundrum, County Tipperary, for division and, if so, when it will be acquired.

Mr. Boland

The Deputy has been already informed of the position regarding these lands in reply to his previous questions. The tenant has objected to the proposals of the Land Commission for resumption and it is not feasible to proceed further in the matter at present.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will state what steps have been taken by the Land Commission to acquire the Heffernan estate, Dogstown, New Inn, Cashel, County Tipperary, for division amongst the uneconomic holders and landless men of the district; if he is aware that repeated applications have been made for the past two years for an inspector to visit the estate; and if he will state if these requests will be now acceded to.

Mr. Boland

The Land Commission have had an inspection made of the lands of Dogstown on the estate of the late William Heffernan and have decided to institute proceedings for their acquisition.
