Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Acquisition of Laois Estate.
This estate comprises over 600 acres in all. Agreement has been reached with the owner for the purchase of an area of 216 acres and I expect that possession thereof will be obtained early next year. A substantial portion of the balance of the estate was recently offered for sale to the Land Commission and this offer is under consideration at present.
