asked the Minister for Lands whether the Land Commission has acquired the lands known as the Whitworth estate, Blackrock, Dundalk, County Louth, and, if so, when these lands are likely to be divided.
Ceisteanna.—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Louth Estate.
The Land Commission have resumed the holding of Mary Whitworth, but are not yet in a position to state when the lands will be divided.
Is the Minister aware that, some time last year, I called to the offices of the Land Commission and was informed that these lands would be divided this year so as to allow portion of them to be cultivated during the coming season?
A scheme for division has been prepared, but has not yet been approved by the commissioners.
Can the Minister say when it will be approved — this year or next year?
This year, I expect.
