Minister for Lands (Mr. T.J. Fitzpatrick, Cavan) Thomas J. (Cavan) Fitzpatrick Minister for Lands (Mr. T.J. Fitzpatrick, Cavan): The information requested is not readily available and its extraction at this stage would be a formidable task involving the examination of a large number of individual files and documents in several branches of the Land Commission. The Deputy will appreciate that, in the circumstances, to compile the detailed information sought would call for a disproportionate expenditure of time and labour. It may suffice for his purpose to know that in the past 10 years 6,550 acres, approximately, comprised in 93 properties were acquired or purchased by the Land Commission in County Limerick and a further 2,800 acres, approximately, made up of numerous small holdings were taken over by way of exchange. In the same period about 8,500 acres were allotted to some 590 allottees. Income from revenue lettings in County Limerick in 1975 was of the order of £35,000 while outgoings— interest on land bonds, rates, caretakers and so on—were in or about the same figure. Mr. G. Collins Mr. G. Collins 124. Mr. G.
