Mr. FLAVIN

asked the Chief Secretary what reply, if any, has been sent by the Land Commission to the solicitor or secretary of the Kerry County Council in reply to their letter of 24th October, 1911, asking the Land Commission to consent to the making of the Carneragh or Kilmeany new road, in North Kerry?

Mr. BIRRELL

After some intermediate correspondence the Land Commissioners addressed a query to the secretary of the Kerry County Council on the 18th June, 1912, with regard to the case to which letter a reply does not appear to have been received.

Mr. FLAVIN

asked the Chief Secretary if the Kerry County Council, through Mr. Downing, solicitor, and Mr. P. M. Quinlan, secretary, have communicated with the Land Commission, on 20th October, 1910, for their consent to make the Leitrim new road in North Kerry; and, if so, what reply has the Land Commission sent to the Kerry County Council?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Land Commission approved of the proposed transaction so far back as the 18th June, 1912.

Mr. FLAVIN

asked the Chief Secretary what reply has the Land Commission sent to the solicitor or secretary to the Kerry County Council, in reply to their letter of 19th January, 1913, for their consent to make a new road at Cloonmackon, North Kerry?

Mr. BIRRELL

Application was received from the Kerry County Council for liberty to make a new road at Cloonmackon, county Kerry, through several holdings which have been purchased under the Land Purchase Acts, the lands being still liable to the repayment of the advances made, and the Land Commissioners gave their consent to this transaction so far back as 18th June, 1912. The letter from the county council, dated 19th January, 1913, does not appear to have been received in the Land Commission.
