I propose to take Questions Nos. 272 to 274, inclusive, together.

My Department has been in contact with the person named in the questions. However, the exact nature of the issue involved is not as yet clear to my staff. It appears to relate to a Vesting Order completed in 1988 where plots were surrendered and exchanged. If the person named sets out the exact nature of his query in writing to my staff at Government Buildings, Farnham Street, Cavan, I will arrange for an Inspector from my Department to meet with him.

All the Land Commission information that the Department holds in relation to the folios owned by the person named, that the Department is aware of, has been outlined to him by letter and by telephone. All the historical information in the possession of my Department as successor to the former Irish Land Commission regarding other land in the townland is available but includes information on other persons allotted land by the Commission which is private to those persons and may not be disclosed without their consent. However certain information such as vesting orders were published at the time and this information can be made available to the Deputy. I will arrange for an official of the Lands Branch to write to the Deputy in this regard.
