asked the Minister for Lands if he will state in respect of County Louth the estates held by the Land Commission for division and the estates in which negotiations for purchase have reached an advanced stage.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Louth Estates.
The reply is in the form of a tabular statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:

NOTE: Proceedings are in progress for the voluntary purchase of two further properties, aggregating 195 acres, the details of which must, for the present, be treated as confidential.
I should like to know will the second part of my question be also answered in the tabular statement, the part in regard to estates in which negotiations for purchase have reached an advanced stage?
I feel I have received an incorrect reply, then. Would the Minister agree——
Sorry. The Deputy asked, first, for a list of the estates held by the Land Commission for division and the estates in which negotiations for purchase have reached an advanced stage. What is given in the reply at "A" is particulars of estates in the possession of the Land Commission and in "B" particulars of estates in which proceedings for compulsory acquisition have been instituted but of which possession has not yet been taken.
That will satisfy me.
