It has not been possible to identify the Welldon lands mentioned in the Question, but if the Deputy has in mind a holding in this locality, containing some 300 acres, owned by a Mr. Willington, the Land Commission have not considered the possibility of acquiring the property.
Whilst there are no proceedings for acquisition of the Cahalan lands, which comprise 236 acres, certain dealings affecting this holding are pending but for the present these must be treated as confidential.
