Vol. 242 No. 13

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Laois Lands.

95.

asked the Minister for Lands when it is proposed to divide the lands of Werner Rauitenberg at Derrinsallagh, Borris-in-Ossory, County Laois comprising 141 acres; and if they will be allotted early next spring.

96.

asked the Minister for Lands when it is proposed to divide the lands of Wolfhill Estates Limited, County Laois; and if they will be allotted in time for sowing next spring.

With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 95 and 96 together.

Pending completion of the necessary inquiries on the ground it is not feasible to indicate just now when the Rauitenberg estate—142 acres—will be allotted. Possession of this property did not pass to the Land Commission until last May.

An area of 195 acres on the estate of Wolfhill Farms Ltd. has already been allocated to local smallholders; final arrangements have not yet been made for disposal of the residue 98 acres—of this estate.
