Vol. 217 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Cork Lands.

66.

Mr. Cronin

asked the Minister for Lands how many acres of land the Land Commission have available for division in the constituency of Cork North-East; and the names and addresses of the former owners.

Mr. Moran

Land Commission records are not compiled by reference to constituency areas. For County Cork as a whole, however, the reply takes the form of a tabular statement which I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

Mr. Cronin

asked the Minister for Lands when it is proposed to divide the O'Connor Estate, Taurmore, Newmarket, County Cork.

Mr. Moran

This 144 acre property was transferred to the Land Commission in exchange for a new holding last year. If at all possible, the lands will be allotted next spring.
