Vol. 85 No. 12

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Co. Mayo Congestion.

asked the Minister for Lands whether he is aware that acute congestion exists in the parish of Bekan, particularly in the townland of Ranaghard, where there are 12 tenants whose poor law valuations are under £3 each, and if he will state if it is the intention of the Land Commission to divide the lands held by that body in the parish of Bekan to relieve the existing congestion.

Schemes of allotment are at present being prepared by the Land Commission for some 95 acres of the lands of Ballinvilla demesne, Treanrevagh and Leo which appear to be in the Bekan district.

As regards congestion in the Ranaghard (Guilmore) area a rearrangement scheme is in contemplation but will take some time to carry out, depending on the possibility of migration and sufficiency of stuff to deal with such a difficult matter.
