asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the number of holdings in County Kildare which were allotted to migrants in each of the years from 1940 to date, and the total area of such lands.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Migrants' Holdings in Kildare.
I regret that the information sought is not available on a county basis for the years prior to 1948. In County Kildare, however, during the period 1948-57, the number of holdings and area thereof allotted each year to migrants from outside the county are set out in a tabular statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, will be published in the Official Report.
