asked the Minister for Lands whether the Land Commission have considered the propriety of acquiring the Coolnamuck Estate, Carrick-on-Suir, in order to relieve congestion in that area.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Acquisition of Carrick-on-Suir Estate.

These lands have been sold recently to a new owner and the Land Commission have no acquisition proceedings in the matter.
First of all I must protest that I cannot hear what the Minister is saying. He should have an investigation into this matter. The same thing was said by his Department about the Rockingham Estate. It was said that it was not suitable. We asked the Minister to direct them to go back over the whole case again and they changed their mind. I ask the Minister to use the same technique in this case and he will probably take it over. There are 320 acres of land there.
As far as I know, this has always been a stud farm and was so classified by the Land Commission.
