asked the Minister for Lands if he will state (a) the names, locations and appropriate folio numbers of the estates in County Limerick now in the hands of the Land Commission, (b) the date of acquisition in each case, and (c) the approximate date by which he expects that they will be subdivided and allocated among deserving applicants.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Acquisition and Division of Limerick Estates.
The reply to (a) and (b) in the question takes the form of a tabular statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, will be circulated in the Official Report.
As regards (c) I am as yet unable to suggest when allotment of these lands will be effected but there will be no avoidable delay.
Following is the statement:—
