asked the Minister for Lands if he is aware that acute congestion exists in the townland of Caraun, Claremorris, where there are 15 tenants whose poor law valuations average less than £6 each, and if he will state what steps, if any, are being taken to acquire part of the Prendergast estate, which has been offered to the Land Commission, to relieve the existing congestion and provide the tenants with a proper unobstructed right of way to their holdings.

There are no proceedings pending in the Land Commission for the acquisition of the lands of Mr. R. E. Prendergast in the townland of Caraun, Claremorris, County Mayo.
