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

16.

Mr. Allen

asked the Minister for Lands the estates that are in the hands of the Land Commission in County Wexford; when they were acquired; the price per acre; and when it is proposed to divide each estate.

Mr. T.J. Fitzpatrick

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

**Already partly allotted.

Notes: (1) It is not possible to indicate when the individuals estates listed will be divided but every effort will be made to dispose of the lands as early as possible.

(2) In the case of voluntary purchases it is not the practice of the Land Commission to disclose the price paid for the lands taken over by them. In the case of compulsory proceedings, the purchase price is included in the Final List which is published in Iris Oifigiúil.

Mr. Allen

Do I gather that a reply to the last part of the question is included in the answer?

Mr. T.J. Fitzpatrick

(Cavan): Yes. An indication is given where possible as to when the division will take place.
