Group land-purchase scheme
Byrne asks how successful group purchasing has been and whether financial help will let small farmers compete with ranchers and speculators. The Minister calls the scheme very successful but says future purchase controls are still under examination.
In the course of his reply the Minister mentioned group purchase schemes and I should like to know how successful they have been to date.

Will financial aid be provided to help small farmers compete with ranchers and speculators in the purchase of land?

The group purchase scheme has been very successful. With regard to the other point raised by the Deputy I should like to say that for obvious reasons I cannot talk about it today because the plans and examinations for future control of land purchases have not reached a conclusion.
