The replies to parts (a) and (b) of the question take the form of a tabular statement which I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report.
As regards (c), negotiations are currently in progress for voluntary purchase of eight properties aggregating some 650 acres in County Tipperary (S.R.). However, these transactions are confidential as between the Land Commission and the landowners concerned and it is not the practice to publish details in such cases.
