asked the Minister for Lands if he will state when it is proposed by the Land Commission to divide amongst smallholders and landless men the lands of O'Toole, at Ballynarneny, Fighting Cocks, Carlow, on the Swift Estate, Record No. S. 5592 and if he will indicate the position of this farm as far as his Department is concerned.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - The Swift Estate (County Carlow).
The Appeal Tribunal authorised resumption of portion of the holding of Michael O'Toole, at Ballynarneny, containing 157 acres 2 roods 24 perches and fixed the resumption price on the 3rd December last. Having regard to the price so fixed the Land Commission do not consider it expedient to proceed with the resumption of the lands and have served notice on the tenant of their withdrawal from the proceedings pursuant to Section 24 of the Land Act, 1927.
Does that mean that the Land Commission have now no further intention of acquiring these lands?
That is right.
