asked the Minister for Agriculture if he is aware that Loughrea Rugby Football Club made application to the Land Commission for six acres of land in the O'Connell estate, Ballygarty, Loughrea, County Galway; and if he will recommend to the Land Commission that their application for a rugby pitch be given favourable consideration since other sporting organisations in the area have been successful in their application to the Land Commission for similar facilities.

The club's application is already on record and, in conjunction with the claims of other applicants, will be given full consideration by the Land Commission when they come to dispose of these lands in due course.
