asked the Minister for Agriculture if he is aware that the Seán Kelly estate, Clooncunny, Glensk, Castlerea, County Galway, was up for sale by public auction on 24 February 1979; and if he will instruct the Land Commission to inspect these lands with a view to their acquisition and division among the small holders in that area.

I am informed by the Land Commission that the general area in which this holding is situated is not acutely congested and, in these circumstances, an inspection of the holding would not be warranted.
