Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Afforestation: Particulars.
Statistics kept regarding the individual stages of progress of land acquisition proceedings are designed to show the position as at the end of each quarter. The reply to this question, which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the form of a tabular statement with the Official Report, gives that information.
