asked the Minister for Agriculture whether the Cloghna Ranch, on the Bruen Estate, Co. Carlow, is vested in the Land Commission, and, if not, whether he can state when it will be vested.

The lands referred to have not been vested in the Land Commission. The landlord has lodged particulars to enable the Land Commission to collect Compounded Arrears of Rent, and payment in lieu of rent under the Land Act, 1923. The further particulars to enable the purchase to be proceeded with have not yet been lodged.
