asked the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry when it is expected that a person (details supplied) in County Donegal will be paid in respect of land sold to his Department for forestry purposes.

(Cavan-Monaghan): Agreement on price in this case was reached some months ago and investigation of title to the property is proceeding as quickly as possible. The purchase money will be paid as soon as title has been cleared and possession of the lands handed over to the Forest and Wildlife Service.
