asked the Minister for Lands if he will state whether the Land Commission have yet acquired the lands of Mrs. A. Monaghan, containing 164 acres at Timahoe East, on the Dobbs estate (Record No. 2870), Co. Kildare, and, if not, how the matter of the acquisition of the lands now stands.
Written Answers. - Co. Kildare Estate.
Mr. Boland
A notice of intention to apply to the Appeal Tribunal for leave to resume the holding in question was published by the Land Commission, but a petition against resumption was presented by the tenant.
The hearing of this petition has been deferred owing to difficulties of procedure arising out of a judicial decision concerning the powers of the Land Commission in regard to resumption. Provision for the settlement of these difficulties is under consideration.
