Mr. Maguire Mr. Maguire

Mr. Maguire asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries to state when an inspection of the Glenfarne Estate, County Leitrim, the property of Messrs. Lees and Nixon, was carried out by his Department; if it is the intention of his Department to take over these lands and sub-divide them towards the relief of congestion in the area; or what scheme, if any, he has for utilising them in a useful way, and when he proposes moving in the matter.

Mr. Roddy Mr. Roddy

Mr. Roddy: The question of the acquisition of the Glenfarne Estate to which the Deputy refers is still under the consideration of the Land Commission.

Mr. Maguire Mr. Maguire

Mr. Maguire: When may I expect a definite reply?

Mr. Roddy Mr. Roddy

Mr. Roddy: There will be a definite reply very shortly. There has been delay in this case because of the difficulty of getting the present owners of the estate to negotiate a sale.
