asked the Minister for Local Government whether he is aware that recently the Kerry Cattle Traders' Association passed a resolution protesting against the new decision of the Killarney Urban District Council again to request his sanction for the sale of part of the Killarney Fair Green; and if, in the circumstances, he will give an assurance that the council's new application for sanction to sell will be refused.

Mr. Murphy
I am aware of the passing of the resolution. No proposal in this matter has, however, yet been received in the Department from the Killarney Urban District Council.
As I explained to the Deputy, in reply to his previous question on 1st December last, I would not be disposed to agree to any sale or letting which would be likely to interfere in any way with the holding of fairs and markets. He may rest assured that the matter will be carefully investigated by me if any proposal is submitted to the Department.
