asked the Minister for Lands (i) if provision has been made for the survey of lands in South Kerry offered for afforestation; (ii) when the survey is likely to be completed, and (iii) if he will state, where the survey proves favourable, how soon after the report is made will the land be acquired.

The answer to the first part of the question is "yes".
I cannot at present state when the survey will be completed, but I anticipate October or November next. It would be impossible to forecast the duration of acquisition proceedings which involve outside parties.
