Mr. Hogan
Mr. Boland
The question of the acquisition of the Butler estate is at present under consideration by the Land Commission. It is not possible at present to state whether or when the lands may be acquired and divided.
Mr. Hogan
Is the Minister aware that this matter has been under consideration for the last three years?
Mr. Boland
It may have been. It takes a long time to deal with these things.
Mr. Hogan
A terribly long time.
