asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries whether he is aware that the uneconomic landholders adjoining the Goring estate, Broadford, Co. Clare, have repeatedly asked for the division amongst them of that estate, which, it is stated, the landlord is willing to sell; if he will state whether in the past any inquiries were made by the Land Commission with a view to acquiring the estate, and if steps will now be taken to have the estate acquired for division amongst the adjoining holders of uneconomic parcels of land.

Representations have been made to the Land Commission in regard to the acquisition of the untenanted lands on the Goring estate at Broadford. Inquiries have been made regarding these lands and the question of their acquisition is at present under consideration.
