Vol. 89 No. 5

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Division of Co. Dublin Estate.

asked the Minister for Lands whether he is aware that a holding on the Massey estate at Kilakee Rathfarnham, County Dublin, has been allotted to Mr. Robert Lambert, while local people, some of whom were formerly tenants on the estate, or the children or grandchildren of tenants, applied unsuccessfully for holdings; and whether he will state where Mr. Lambert resided, and what was his occupation during the last 20 years; and if the holding allotted to Mr. Lambert has since been let by him to a Mr. Brady.

The Smyth estate, on which Mr. Robert Lambert was allotted a holding, contains 37a. 3r. 13p., in the townlands of Cruagh and Jamestown, and was purchased chiefly to provide watering facilities for allottees on the adjoining Massey estate. After providing for these allottees, it was found possible to provide a holding for Mr. Lambert, who is engaged in the dairying business at Raheny, Co. Dublin. The claims of all local applicants were carefully considered. The Land Commission are not aware that Mr. Lambert has let the holding, but are making inquiries in the matter.

Will the Minister state where Mr. Lambert is carrying on the dairying industry?

At Raheny, Co. Dublin.

That is a rather big place. Has the Minister any specific information as to where the dairying industry is being carried on?

Fairfield, Raheny, Co. Dublin, is the actual place.
