asked the Minister for Lands if he will now state what steps, if any, are being taken by the Land Commission to provide economic holdings for the tenants on the Ward estate, in the townlands of Kilscoughagh and Curraghadoey, Crossboyne, County Mayo.

I have nothing to add at present to the reply to the Deputy's previous question of the 6th February last in this matter. The resumption proceedings mentioned in that reply are still before the commissioners.
