I have ascertained from the Land Commission that the area available for disposal on this estate, namely, 40 acres, was utilised to enlarge two local uneconomic holdings of persons mainly dependent on farming for a livelihood. Mr. Carroll's application was fully considered by the Commissioners in competition with the other applications received by them but, having regard to the limited acreage available and other considerations, it was not possible to provide allotments other than those decided on.
