asked the Minister for Lands if he will give details of the allotments for amenity plots of ten acres of the Peet Estate, Ballymacelligott, County Kerry.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Kerry Amenity Plots.
88.
Allotments on this estate included three amenity plots comprising 0 acres 3 roods 2 perches, 0 acres 3 roods 20 perches and 8 acres 0 roods 18 perches respectively. The two plots of less than an acre were provided so as to facilitate the allottees in securing access to water. The eight-acre plot consists of the estate orchard; the allottee and his father (now deceased) were formerly employed as gardeners by the Peet family.
In view of the Minister's statement last week about land division I would point out to him that on this occasion some of those who applied were passed over.
The Deputy will appreciate that I was giving expression to views on changes I should like to see in the whole Land Commission procedure and approach to Land Commission activities. What was done in regard to this estate was done pursuant to existing policy.
