asked the Minister for Lands whether the Land Commission have considered the propriety of acquiring the Studdert estate, Cullane, Kilkishen, County Clare, for division amongst the adjoining smallholders and landless men and if he will arrange for the letting of these lands for tillage and grazing to smallholders pending their acquisition.
