asked the Minister for Lands if the Land Commission have considered the propriety of acquiring the Cunningham Estate, Briersfield, Mullinahone, County Tipperary, for division amongst the uneconomic holders and landless men in the area.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Acquisition of Tipperary Estate.
18.
An effort made by the Land Commission, about a year ago, to purchase this property on a voluntary basis was not successful.
Does the Minister propose to use compulsory powers to take it over?
From the information at my disposal, I do not think this is a case in which compulsory powers should be used.
The Minister did not say that long ago.
