asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries if he will state when the Bayley estate, Ballinaclough, Nenagh, will be divided, and whether it will be given to the small uneconomic holders and landless people of that district.

A scheme for the division of the untenanted lands on the Bayley estate has now been settled and will be put into operation forthwith. The lands have been divided in accordance with the provisions of Section 31, Land Act, 1923.
