asked the Minister for Lands if he will state (a) the amount of money originally budgeted for by the Land Commission for the provision of fences under the re-arrangement scheme for the Westlands-Ballyheane area, near Castlebar, County Mayo, and (b) the actual amount spent on the provision of fences under the scheme.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Fencing of Mayo Lands.
asked the Minister for Lands if he is aware that the Land Commission have left only half-completed the fencing of a number of the holdings under the re-arrangement scheme for the Peyton Estate, Bally-heane, County Mayo, and if so, if the commission will take immediate steps to remedy this position.
I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 6 and 7 together. In connection with the re-arrangement of the townlands of Westland and Cornaveagh on the Peyton Estate, a sum of £1,594 has been expended on fencing to date. It has been found necessary to sanction an additional free grant of £804 for this work which it is hoped to complete at an early date.
