Mr. Boland
The necessity for a scheme of rearrangement on the Hassard Estate, Record No. S. 4998, due to the rundale nature of the holdings has been noted for investigation, but the Land Commission are not yet in a position to state when the matter can be dealt with. The question of housing assistance for the tenants on this estate and on other estates in North Mayo will be investigated in conjunction with any rearrangement schemes being prepared.
