Vol. 259 No. 11

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Monaghan Estates.

23.

Mr. Conlan

asked the Minister for Lands the total number of estates held by the Land Commission in County Monaghan; the names of these estates; the acreage involved; and the names and total acreages of those which are proposed to be divided in 1972.

Mr. S. Flanagan

The particulars requested are contained in a tabular statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:
