asked the Minister for Lands if he is aware that there is a large number of smallholders in the immediate vicinity of the Tierney estate, Cashel, County Tipperary, who would be deserving of a portion of the estate; and that it would be preferable to divide it in this way rather than allocate it to one man; and what the intentions of the Land Commission are regarding its division.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 78 and 79 together. Pending completion of the necessary inquiries on the ground I am unable to indicate when allotment of this 59-acre holding will be effected. The selection of allottees for land is a matter reserved to the Commissioners. I am confident that the claims of all applicants will be throughly assessed before the lands are finally allocated.
