Vol. 263 No. 13

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Offaly Estates.

25.

asked the Minister for Lands (a) the total number of acres, approximately, at present in the possession of the Land Commission in County Offaly, (b) the names of the estates and (c) when the Land Commission expects to be in a position to divide these estates.

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

County Offaly.
