Vol. 235 No. 13

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Meath Farms.

68.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will give details of the farms at present in the possession of the Land Commission in County Meath, including (a) the date of acquisition, (b) the size of the farm and (c) the probable date of division; and if he will state, in the case of any farm in the possession of the Land Commission over two years, why it has not yet been divided.

The particulars requested are contained in a tabular statement which I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

* Already partly alloted.

NOTES: 1. It is not possible at present to indicate when the individual estates mentioned will be allotted but there will be no avoidable delay.

2. During the last three complete financial years the aggregate area allotted in County Meath was approximately 6,800 acres.

3. In the case of those estates which are on hands of the Land Commission over two years, disposal has to await selection of allottees, completion of negotiations on exchanges and execution of essential improvement works, including erection of dwelling houses.
