Joe Walsh

Ceist:

190 Mr. J. Walsh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the current position regarding commonage division; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11875/97]

The Land Commission has the power, under the Land Acts, to order the compulsory division of commonage where some but not all of the shareholders request division. Use of this compulsory power has been suspended since 1992 as a result of an appeal to the High Court.
