Vol. 220 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Land Commission Holdings in Kildare.

25.

Mr. Crinion

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

Mr. Faulkner

Land Commission records are not compiled by reference to Constituency areas. For Co. Kildare, 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:
