asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries whether he is aware that acute congestion exists in the Parish of Islandeady, where the poor law valuations of over 100 tenants are under £5 each, and if he will state what steps, if any, are being taken to acquire the large grazing ranches known as Claggernagh East and Claggernagh West, held by Mr. Matthew Fahey, which contain 480 acres.

I have nothing at present to add to my reply to the Deputy's question of 12th July last on this matter. The practicability of providing an exchange for the lands of Mr. Matthew Fahey in Claggernagh East and West is still under consideration.
