Tadhg O Murchadha asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether he proposes to take any steps in co-operation with boards of health to provide additional half-acre plots for tenants of labourers' cottages who hold only a half-acre plot at present.

Minister for Local Government and Public Health (General Mulcahy) Richard (General) Mulcahy

Minister for Local Government and Public Health (General Mulcahy): The provision of extra half-acre plots for tenants of labourers' cottages is a matter primarily for the rural sanitary authority, who possess the necessary statutory authority.

Mr. Murphy: Is the Minister aware that if a local authority proposes to acquire land for this purpose, a delay of at least twelve or eighteen months will take place before the land can be acquired? Would the Minister be prepared to indicate to the House [1995] whether he would be in a position to do anything to expedite further the transfer of land for that purpose?

General Mulcahy General Mulcahy

General Mulcahy: I have no proposals in the matter from any board.
