The Forestry Division of my Department recently received an offer of 600 acres of commonage land for afforestation in the townland of Ballynahimmy, adjoining State Forest lands at Clonaslee. The area will be inspected at the earliest possible date. Arrangements have been made for the inspection of another area in the same townland offered some months ago. Consideration of these cases will be expedited as much as possible.
