Mr. Bruton:
asked the Minister for Lands if he will extend the group farm experiments being sponsored by the Land Commission to include local farmers in Counties Meath and Kildare.
Mr. S. Flanagan:
As the Deputy is aware, the Land Commission are sponsoring an experiment in combined farming in County Meath—the participants being four migrants from Kerry. If a further project in Meath or Kildare should be found feasible, sympathetic consideration will be given to the question of seeking the participation of farmers from within these counties.
Mr. Bruton:
What considerations might lead the Minister to decide whether a further project of this nature would be feasible? What steps has he taken to investigate the possibility of instituting a further experiment in Meath or Kildare?
Mr. S. Flanagan:
That is a very wide question.
Mr. Bruton:
It arises directly from the original question. Would the Minister be in a position to answer that?
Mr. S. Flanagan:
I do not think so. It is too complicated. “If a further project in Meath or Kildare should be found feasible” is what I said in my reply.
Mr. Bruton:
Is it likely to be found feasible?
Mr. S. Flanagan:
Fairly likely.
