Vol. 205 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Purchase of Land by Non-Nationals.

20.

asked the Minister for Lands the estimated total acreage of agricultural land bought by non-nationals in the last twelve years.

Particulars of these transactions have been officially recorded by the Land Commission under the procedure authorised by Sections 33, 34 and 35 of the Finance Act, 1961, since 1st August, 1961. Up to 2nd November, 1962, the total area so recorded and on which stamp duty at the rate of 25 per cent has been paid was 14,628 acres, for a period of 2¼ years.

Corresponding statistics are not available for the period prior to 1st August, 1961. On 23rd ultimo, I gave the House the results of certain surveys to which I would refer the Deputy (Cols. 123-125).
