Estates scheduled for division

Summary

Kitt asked why annual information on estates due for division had stopped and sought the 1986 list for Galway; the Minister said the information could be obtained. He acknowledged that reassigned inspectors had slowed allocations, and Treacy again said parts of his earlier question remained unanswered.

I did not get an answer to two parts of my question.

Before the Land Commission was abolished there was a practice in this House whereby at the beginning of the year Deputies could be told the estates which would be divided that year. Why has this practice not been continued? Can the Minister say what estates will be divided in County Galway in 1986?

I imagine it would be possible to get that information for the Deputy.

We are told that the assessment of land for farm tax is holding up division.

The fact that a number of inspectors have been changed from the Land Commission has obviously slowed down the allocation of land but that does not mean there is no allocation taking place.

It is slow.

Yes.

I asked a three-part question and received a reply to only one part.
