Vol. 111 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Revesting of Lands.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will state whether the lands allotted by the Land Commission on the following estates will be revested in the allottees at once, as these people have not the incentive to carry out desirable improvements while they are not owners of their lands in fee simple: (a) Bessborough estate, Piltown, County Kilkenny; (b) Duckett's Grove estate, County Carlow; (c) Bellevue estate, County Kilkenny, and (d) Castlecomer estate, County Kilkenny.

The holdings on the estates referred to by the Deputy will be examined with a view to vesting when they are reached in the ordinary course. Allottees who are making proper use of their lands and fulfilling the terms of their agreements with the Land Commission need have no hesitation in carrying out improvements.
