80 Mr. J. Higgins asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the number of houses and cottages purchased by foreign nationals in each of the years from 1990 to 1993; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The information which the Deputy requires is not available. However the Irish Land Commission does have statistics for the numbers of non-nationals who purchased land in the specific years 1990 to 1993 inclusive. My Department will write to the Deputy within the next couple of days detailing the figures held for the particular years concerned.
