asked the Minister for Lands if a scheme has been prepared for the division of the Payne estate, Mountjessop, County Longford; and, if so, when it is proposed to release it.
Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Longford Estate.
40.
Preliminary plans for allocation of this 270-acre property have been formulated and are under active consideration just now.
Can the Minister say if there will be an interval from now until the lands are allotted? My information is that there is a large area of meadow and the local smallholders are anxious to take this meadow on a letting basis. Perhaps the Minister will look into this matter and arrange for the letting of the meadow, pending implementation of the scheme?
I will do that and let the Deputy know.
