asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries if he will state what lands he proposes to acquire in the Skerries District, Co. Dublin, for the purpose of distribution.

Some 400 acres of land are being acquired for distribution by the Land Commission in the vicinity of Rush, and when the estate of Lady Palmer is being dealt with under the provisions of the Land Act, 1923, the question of the acquisition of further lands in the Skerries district will be considered by the Land Commission.
