The bog referred to forms portion of the estate of J.C. McAndrew and others, for the sale of which under the Land Act of 1923 schedules and particulars have been lodged.

Proceedings have been instituted under the provisions of the Land Act, 1923, for the acquisition of the lands of Carrowneden and Lackanatlieve on the Gordon estate. These lands were published in a provisional list of lands which, if not excluded in consequence of a valid objection, will become vested in the Land Commission on the appointed day. There are no proceedings before the Land Commission for the acquisition of the lands of Ballinteane which are subject to land purchase annuity.

The Land Commission are not in a position to complete the striping and rearrangement of the townland of Cloongoonagh on the Sir Roger Palmer estate pending the removal of this year's crops. The work will be proceeded with when the ground is clear.
Can the Parliamentary Secretary state if the vesting of this townland will be proceeded with before the end of the year?
Oh, no. It is not possible that the vesting can be done this year.
Or early in the new year?
I cannot give any undertaking on that point.
