Mr. Boland
It is not yet possible to state when the Land Commission will be in a position to divide the Craig Waller Estate at Allenstown, County Meath. It is proposed to establish a migrant colony on the lands provided that the needs of suitable local applicants for parcels of land on the estate can first be met. The Land Commission are making a special investigation of the local conditions with this end in view.
