Vol. 244 No. 8

Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Migrant Holdings.

57.

asked the Minister for Lands how many new holdings of land are being made available for migrants in the present year; and where such holdings are located.

It is not possible at this stage to furnish the precise information requested. The Deputy will appreciate that such arrangements for migration as are in train are still tentative. Final decisions as regards migration are based on a number of factors, including the circumstances of the various applicants, the suitability of their lands for use in effecting re-arrangement and the completion of new buildings.

Since 1st April last some 11 holdings have been allotted to migrants and it is expected that the number to be allotted for the remainder of the year will be about 77. These would be mainly in the midland and eastern counties.
