asked the Minister for Lands the present position regarding the Crowe estate, formerly the Taylor estate, Ardrahan, County Galway.

Certain dealings affecting the lands referred to, in Ardrahan South, are pending between the Land Commission and the owner but for the present these dealings must be treated as confidential.

Are the Land Commission acquiring all the Taylor estate or only portion of it?

The area mentioned here is 47 acres.

That is a portion of it.
