Vol. 220 No. 5

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Land Commission Holdings in South-West Cork.

19.

Mr. M.P. Murphy

asked the Minister for Lands the name, acreage and location of each of the holdings in South-West Cork held by the Land Commission at present; the dates on which these holdings were acquired; and when it is proposed to allocate them.

Mr. Moran

Land Commission records are not kept by reference to specific districts such as that mentioned in the question. For County Cork as a whole, however, the reply takes the form of a tabular statement which I propose, with your permission a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—
