Vol. 176 No. 2

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Acquisition of Carlow Estate.

10.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will state with regard to the estate of James Doyle at Ballyvangor. County Carlow (Record No. S.21038) which the Land Commission proposed to acquire some years ago for division among local small-holders, whether the Land Commission discontinued the acquisition on the owner's undertaking to reside in the house on the estate and to work the lands; whether the undertaking was complied with, or whether the house is unoccupied and the lands let to local farmers; and whether in the latter circumstance the Land Commission will consider the propriety of acquiring the estate.

Proceedings for acquisition of this estate were terminated by an Order made by the Land Commissioners on 3rd June, 1958, allowing Owner's objection unconditionally. All local congestion has since been relieved by acquisition of other lands.

Questions Nos. 11 and 12 postponed.
