Vol. 213 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - South Tipperary and West Waterford Land Acquisition.

20.

asked the Minister for Lands what areas of land are at present in the possession of the Land Commission in South Tipperary and West Waterford; and if he will state the acreage involved in the case of each parcel of land, the date of acquisition by the Commission, and the probable date of division.

Land Commission records are not compiled by reference to specific districts such as those mentioned in the question. For County Tipperary (SR) and County Waterford as a whole, however, the reply takes the form of a tabular statement which, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

PARTICULARS of estates—apart from turbary, insignificant residues of allotted properties and lands transferred in exchange—in the possession of the Land Commission for division in (a) County Tipperary (SR) and (b) County Waterford.

NOTES:

1. It is not possible at present to indicate when the individual estates mentioned will be allotted but it is hoped to allocate as many of them as possible next Spring.

2. During the last three complete financial years the aggregate area allotted in Counties Tipperary and Waterford were approximately 6,400 and 2,600 acres, respectively.
