asked the Minister for Lands whether the Land Commission have acquired or propose to take steps to acquire the Slocock estate, comprising approximately 150 acres, at Craan, Milford, County Carlow, and, if so, whether he will state when the lands are likely to be divided.
Ceisteanna.—Questions. Oral Answers. - Slocock Estate (Carlow).
The Land Commission have no proceedings for the acquisition of the lands of Craan, Milford, County Carlow, on the Slocock estate, but they have had an inspection made of the lands of Boolyrathornan (or Tomard) and Cranavonane on this estate. They have not yet come to any decision regarding the acquisition of these lands.
Will the Minister give an assurance that the owner of this holding of 150 acres, which is entirely in grass, will be compelled to comply with the provisions of the Compulsory Tillage Order?
That is not a matter for me.
That is a separate question.
