Land Commission records are not kept by reference to specific districts such as that mentioned in the Question. In Co. Galway as a whole, however, the Land Commission have on hands for division an area of approximately 3,600 acres of arable land.
As regards the Forestry Division of my Department, I can say that the total area on hands in East Galway for afforestation purposes is 29,183 acres.
