asked the Minister for Lands if the Land Commission have yet decided to divide the River-view Lands, Crossmolina, County Mayo; and, if so, if the local villagers will get priority in the distribution.

Proposals for allocation of these lands are at present in course of formulation and allotment will take place as soon as possible. As the Lands were purchased pursuant to Section 27 of the Land Act, 1950, the provisions of this Section will necessarily apply to their disposal.
