Vol. 92 No. 17

Ceisteanna.—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cottier's Holding.

asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he will state why the additional half-acre plot, Kilfinane No. L213/127, marked out on the lands of Mr. John Hennessy for Cottier Thomas McGrath, was excluded from the scheme.

The evidence at the sworn inquiry into the compulsory acquisition of additional plots in Limerick County revealed that Thomas McGrath, the applicant for the plot in question, had not tilled his existing plot but had sub-let it to another person. In the circumstances, I was not satisfied that the applicant was in need of an additional half-acre of land and the plot was excluded from the Compulsory Purchase Order.
