Mr. Brodrick
The holding of Mr. H.J. Kirwan in the townland of Ballybrone on the Estate of Lady Camilla E. Blake has been declared a retained holding under Section 28 of the Land Act, 1923, and arrangements have been made with Mr. Kirwan for its surrender. A scheme for its division is in course of preparation but the Land Commission are not in a position at present to state when the scheme will be put into operation.
