Vol. 250 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Land Commission Holdings.

88.

asked the Minister for Lands when he proposes to increase the Land Commission holdings from 50 statute acres to I (X) statute acres in view of our pending entry into the EEC.

Under current land settlement policy, holdings and enlargements are planned to provide family farms of 40 to 45 acres of good land or the equivalent in land of mixed quality.

Just now the whole question of the future policy of the Land Commission, and land policy in general, is under active consideration by the Government. Pending a decision on the various issues being examined, I think it would be premature to comment further on the matter.
