Enda Kenny
Question:138 Mr. E. Kenny asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the position regarding the division of a commonage (details supplied) in County Mayo.
Written Answers. - Mayo Commonage Division.
No application has been made to the Land Commission to assist in the division of the commonage in question. I understand, however, that not all of the shareholders in the commonage appear to be willing to agree to its division and if this is the case, the commonage can only be divided using compulsory procedures.
At present the Land Commission is awaiting the result of an appeal to An Bord Pleanála regarding the compulsory division of another commonage in County Mayo. When this has been received it will be necessary to re-examine the use of compulsory procedures to divide commonages.
