Vol. 270 No. 14

Written Answer. - Meath Estates.

395.

Mr. Crinion

asked the Minister for Lands the names, location, acreage and dates of acquisition of estates currently in the hands of the Land Commission in County Meath; and when it is intended to allocate these lands.

Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries (Mr. Clinton)

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:—

Note: It is not possible to indicate when the individual Estates mentioned will be divided but there will be no avoidable delay. The necessary local inquiries preliminary to allotment are being pushed forward as rapidly as circumstances permit.
