Vol. 164 No. 2

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rearrangement of Mayo Townlands.

asked the Minister for Lands what steps are being taken towards the rearrangement of the townlands of Ballinhoe and Bohogue (Kilmaine estate), County Mayo.

Landowners in these townlands have been interviewed for the purpose of formulating a rearrangement scheme but up to the present the necessary co-operation has not been forthcoming.

Would the Minister take up this question? The situation in the two townlands referred to in the question is a very peculiar one. Would the Minister try to expedite the improvement of that portion of the Kilmaine estate and would he also ask the commissioners to investigate the possibility of removing the entire number of families and devoting the poorer portion to forestry?

I shall have the Deputy's observations brought to the attention of the Land Commission.
