Question 132: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the reason shares on commonage have not been attributed to a person (details supplied) in County Mayo by the Land Commission in view of the fact that they should be rightfully theirs; if somebody from his Department or the Land Commission will call to this person to resolve this issue; and the reason somebody has not called to them in view of the fact that promises were made to this effect.

An official from my Department has been in communication with the person named and with a firm of Solicitors acting on his behalf, setting out details of the commonage shares on hands and their origin. My Department's position is that the person named has a claim to only one of the shares and not three shares as claimed by him. It is the view of my officials that it would be best if a meeting with the person named now took place in the presence of his solicitor. The person named should have his solicitor contact my officials in this regard.
