asked the Minister for Health why he has in effect evicted tenants of land in Lusk controlled by the Balrothery Board of Assistance by granting a lease to a stranger under the State Lands (Workhouses) Act, 1930.

I have been informed by the Balrothery Board of Assistance, which is responsible for the management of the lands in question, that they have no information that any tenant has been evicted from them.
After consultation, and in agreement with the Balrothery Board of Assistance, of which Board the Deputy is Chairman, I agreed to grant a lease, under the State Lands (Workhouses) Act, 1930, of two parcels of land attached to the old Balrothery Workhouse which have been untenanted for several years. The financial terms upon which the lease is being granted were fixed in accordance with the recommendation of the Commissioner of Valuation.
