asked the Minister for Lands if he is aware that Joseph Hession, Mountjennings, Hollymount, County Mayo, is in possession of approximately 200 acres of land and if he will consider acquiring same in order to relieve the congestion which exists amongst the 50 tenants in the locality.

The Deputy's question appears to refer to the lands owned by James Joseph Hession in the townland of Rees, County Mayo. These lands were inspected some years ago but no decision to acquire them or any part of them has been taken. So far as my information goes, there is no congestion in the immediate neighbourhood of these lands.
The Minister surely is not serious in saying that.
