Vol. 278 No. 8

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

12.

Mr. Wilson

asked the Minister for Lands the number of estates in County Cavan that have been inspected by the Land Commission in the years 1969 to 1974 inclusive; the names and locations of the estates; the total number, names, acreages and location of estates acquired in those years; and the names and addresses of all persons who received allocations of land.

Mr. Clinton (for the Minister for Lands)

The reply in so far as it relates to inspections and acquisitions is in the form of a tabular statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.

As regards allotments, the extraction of the detailed information requested would involve the examination of files for every piece of land divided in County Cavan over a long period and would entail an expenditure of time and effort which, I am sure the Deputy will agree, would scarcely be warranted. It might help the Deputy to know that in the period mentioned an area of 3,798 acres was distributed in 313 allotments in County Cavan.

Following is the statement:
