asked the Minister for Lands and Agriculture whether the lands of P.J. Kennedy, comprising the townlands of Black Friary, Whitehall, Newtown, Clonbun, Trim, Co. Meath, have been inspected by the Land Commission with a view to acquisition for distribution, and if he will state when this estate will be taken over by the Land Commission.

The Land Commission have had inquiries made with regard to the lands referred to and have decided to take no action. They have, however, made the owner an offer for the purchase of the lands of Ardanew, comprising 268 acres, which he has accepted.
