I would refer the Deputy to my reply to his previous question on 17th July last. The objection lodged on behalf of the owners is listed for open hearing on 20th of this month.
May I take it that since I last raised this matter there have been some worthwhile developments? I understand that since the last occasion an objection has been served on the estate commissioner.
An objection has been raised since then and the objection is for hearing on the 20th of this month.
This matter has been the subject of a deputation to the Land Commission. There are great fears on the part of the local people as to the division of this estate which is the last hope of the smallholders in the area.
The Deputy will appreciate that it is a matter for the Land Commission.
