Agricultural holdings by size
Stagg sought acreage totals by holding-size category for 1960, 1973 and 1986. Brady said figures were available for 1960, 1975 and 1985 and would circulate a statement showing area by holding size.
asked the Taoiseach the total amount of acreage held under agricultural holdings of (a) less than 15 acres (b) 15-30 acres (c) 30-50 acres (d) 50-100 acres (e) 100-200 acres (f) 200-500 acres and (g) more than 500 acres for the years 1960, 1973, and 1986.
Comment on this
The information available refers to the years 1960, 1975 and 1985. I propose to circulate a statement showing the distribution of the total area on agricultural holdings by size of holding in those years.
Following is the statement:
Total area on agricultural holdings classified by size of holding: 1960, 1975 and 1985
