Cavan): As the Deputy may be aware, the Dunleavy holding referred to was allotted in July last to four adjoining congests. I am informed that the application of the Firies GAA club was given full consideration by the Land Commission in connection with the disposal of the lands but it was not found possible to provide a playing field.
The needs of the club are on record and will be carefully considered in the event of suitable land coming into the hands of the Land Commission in the area.
