asked the Minister for Agriculture the names and addresses of all the estates the Land Commission intend to divide in County Offaly during the next 12 month period; the townlands where they are situated; the acreage of each estate; and the date of acquisition of each such estate.
The allotment programme for 1981 is being prepared at present and is expected to be completed in a matter of weeks. If the Deputy would put down the question again early in the next session, I shall be glad to supply him with the information.
