I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving particulars of the land let in conacre or on the eleven months system for (a) grazing and (b) tillage in the whole State and in County Roscommon as returned at the June enumeration in the years 1956-1960. These data were not collected in 1961.
Following is the statement:
