It is hoped to allot the residue—15 acres—of this estate next spring.
Can the Minister tell me if these lands are to be distributed as a block or if they are to be further divided?
I should hope that 15 acres would not be divided.

Mr. J. Lenehan
Since the Minister is a Mayoman but not wishing to embarrass him I should like to ask him about a great many Mayo people who were given estates of 22 or 30 acres——
That does not seem to arise. Is the Deputy asking a specific question?
Mr. J. Lenehan
Yes, anything I ask is a specific question. I am asking the Minister if these people who came up from the West will now be given——
I am sorry but I cannot allow the Deputy to proceed on that basis. It is a specific estate that is involved.
I will communicate with the Deputy in the matter.
