Vol. 26 No. 7

WRITTEN ANSWERS. - CONGESTION IN SHRULE (MAYO).

asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries whether he is aware that acute congestion exists in the parish of Shrule, Co. Mayo; that several petitions were forwarded during the past four years on behalf of the tenants of uneconomic holdings on the De Clifford Estate, to the Irish Land Commission requesting the acquisition of the farm held by Mrs. Cummins, Tuam, Co. Galway, on the De Clifford Estate surrounding the town of Shrule, and whether he will state what steps are being taken by the Land Commission to acquire this farm for the neighbouring congests.

The Land Commission is aware of the circumstances of the agricultural landholders in the parish of Shrule, and they have under consideration the acquisition of the holding of John Commons in the townland of Shrule.
