andMr. Bruton asked the Minister for Lands the names, locations, acreages and dates of acquisition of the estates currently in the hands of the Land Commission in County Kildare.

The particulars requested are contained in a tabular statement which I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:

County Kildare.

Particulars of Estates—(apart from insignificant residues of partly allotted properties and lands transferred in exchange)—in the possession of the Land Commission for division.

*Already partly allotted.

NOTE: During the last three financial years the aggregate area allotted in County Kildare was approximately 2,204 acres.
