45.
In County Tipperary, during the five year period ended 31st March, 1962, a total of 473 allottees received allotments aggregating 8,739 acres. Details of individual allotments are not readily available and could be ascertained at this stage only by a detailed examination of the numerous estate files concerned. Having regard to the very large number of allotments involved, to do so would entail a disproportionate expenditure of official time and I would not feel justified in present circumstances in diverting staff to such work. If the Deputy is concerned about any particular allotment I would suggest that he communicate direct with the Land Commission in the matter.
