Vol. 182 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Division of Laois Estate.

23.

asked the Minister for Lands when it is proposed to divide the Fetherstonhaugh Estate at Killeen, Mountmellick, amongst the local smallholders and other deserving applicants; and if a scheme is likely to be put into operation at the end of this year so that the lands may be available to the local people by next Spring.

Of a total of 730 acres purchased by the Land Commission on this estate, an area of 241 acres was allotted last March, and I am hopeful that the balance of 489 acres will be allocated by next Spring.
