Mr. Crinion

asked the Minister for Lands if he will furnish particulars of land held by the Land Commission in the Kildare Constituency in the form of replies of 12th May and 25th May 1965.

Minister for Lands (Mr. Moran)

Land Commission records are not complied by reference to constituency areas. For County Kildare, however, the particulars requested are contained in a tabular statement which I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

Dr. Gibbons

asked the Minister for Lands how many acres of land the Land Commission have available for division in the constituency of Roscommon; the size of each holding; and the names and addresses of the former owners.

Mr. Moran

Land Commission records are not compiled by reference to constituency areas. For Co. Roscommon, however, the acreage in question is approximately 3,450 acres. The other particulars requested, in so far as they are available, are contained in a tabular statement which I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report.
