Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Acquisition of Mayo Lands for Afforestation.

20.

asked the Minister for Lands what is the position concerning the acquisition of lands for afforestation in the townlands of Bunmore West, Bunmore East, Shean and Owenglass in the Ballycroy district, County Mayo.

In 1956, the Forestry Division of my Department inspected two commonage areas offered for afforestation in the Ballycroy district, Co. Mayo. The offers comprised land in the townlands of Bunmore East, Bunmore West, Shean More and Owenglass.

The offers were found to be unsuitable for forestry development and were rejected.
