asked the Minister for Lands if he will now state the position-in regard to the 400 acres of bog in Cloonora and Gortnahurra, Crossmolina, County Mayo; and when it is proposed to divide it amongst the large number of people in the area.

Schemes for the disposal of turbary in this district will be prepared as soon as possible and pending its allotment, the Land Commission are endeavouring to cater as far as practicable for local needs by way of seasonal bog lettings.
