asked the Minister for Lands if he will have an 80-acre farm taken over by the Land Commission at Colga, Sligo, as there are a number of small farmers in the area who are anxious to get extra land.

The determination of lands to be acquired is a matter that is reserved exclusively to the lay commissioners. I understand that the Land Commission inquiries in regard to the lands mentioned have not yet been completed and it is accordingly not possible at this stage to say what action, if any, will be taken in the matter.
