HC Deb 21 October 1909 vol 12 c630W
Mr. HAZLETON

asked the Chief Secretary whether the Congested Districts Board has decided on the resettlement of the Ballyglass estate, in the barony of Ballymoe, county Galway; if so, to what extent the 12 small holdings of under £1 valuation are to be enlarged; and whether the untenanted land on the estate is to be used for the creation of new holdings instead of for the enlargement of existing holdings?

Mr. BIRRELL

The lands referred to have not yet been vested in the Congested Districts Board. The Board never in any case prepare holdings for migrants while neglecting to enlarge small holdings on the estate.
