asked the Minister for Lands the names, addresses, rateable valuations and the areas allotted in each case to each allottee on the O'Malley estate in the townland of Bunrower, Westport, County Mayo.

The particulars requested are contained in a tabular statement which I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report.

I might add that while there is, of course, no secrecy regarding the identity of allottees, I feel very strongly that there should be the least possible invasion of the affairs of private individuals, even when they are the recipients of allotments of land. I would again appeal to Deputies, therefore, to be most sparing in their use of this type of question.

Following is the statement:

I certainly will not do anything of the kind. That is information I, for one, will always insist on getting in this House.

The Deputy will get the information he wants in the tabular statement.

I resent the imputation of the Parliamentary Secretary in his reply.

The Deputy will have the information and he can deal as he thinks fit with it—in his discrimination, I am sure.

There might be very good reasons for being secretive about the details in this case.

That might apply to dealings when the Deputy was Minister.

If so, we could rely on the Parliamentary Secretary's colleagues to bring them out in the open, but after seven years they failed to bring one case out.

Up to recently all the particulars of applicants and allottees were discussed at the local Fianna Fáil Cumann. Full information was made available to the Secretary of the Cumann and every shilling in membership fees was collected on the assumption they were going to get land.

The Deputy's imputation is quite disgraceful.
