Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 July 2023
575. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if, given that a parcel of land (details supplied) was subject to dual ownership, he can clarify whether there was any evidence of tenants surrendering their interests, either through formal agreement, purchase, or court order; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33937/23]
View answerOfficials in the Lands Branch of my Department have informed me that, having examined the relevant estate files, there are no records held to support the statement relating to dual ownership of the lands detailed above. These lands were not recorded as being occupied by tenants when the lands were acquired. Records held note these lands as being in the ownership and occupation of the landlord and were subject to active turbary rights.
