asked the Minister for Lands if he will state whether the Land Commission have considered the propriety of acquiring the Patrick Scott holding at Ballinamore, County Galway (Churcher estate), for the purpose of division among the uneconomic holders in the area; and, if so, with what result.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Galway Estate.
The Land Commission have instituted proceedings for the acquisition of these lands.
Will the Minister ask the Land Commission to give careful consideration to the applications which I expect will be forthcoming from the two tenants in possession of these lands for a number of years and who are now to be put out as a result of the Land Commission proposal? Further, is he aware that a Mr. Thomas Tully, a bachelor, has already been well provided for with land?
I expect that all the relevant circumstances will be taken into consideration by the Land Commission when settling the scheme.
