In relation to County Mayo, the difficulties in the way of supplying the detailed information requested were set out in my reply to the Deputy's previous question on 28th June, 1961.
In the circumstances, perhaps it would meet the Deputy's requirements to know that at 31st March, 1964, the Land Commission had on hands in County Mayo—apart from substantial areas of turbary, mountain, etc.—an aggregate area of some 4,400 acres of arable land for use as a working pool for land settlement in the county.
If the Deputy is concerned about any individual estate and furnishes particulars, I shall have the matter investigated.

The figures, which are as yet provisional, are 16 and 111, respectively. In addition, two migrants were resettled within County Mayo and about 82 fragmented holdings were rearranged.
