Vol. 143 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Offaly Estate.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will state in regard to the estate of the late Captain Bennett, Clareen, Birr, Offaly, which was inspected nine months ago, whether the Land Commission has acquired the estate for division amongst the localsmallholders, cottage tenants, and other deserving applicants; and, if so, when it will be divided.

The Land Commission have decided to institute proceedings in respect of these lands but at this stage it is not possible to say whether or when the lands will be acquired.

That is a good job after 30 years.

Nearly as old as the Deputy.
