asked the Minister for Lands what areas of land are at present in the possession of the Land Commission in South Tipperary and West Waterford; and if he will state the acreage involved in the case of each parcel of land, the date of acquisition by the Commission, and the probable date of division.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - South Tipperary and West Waterford Land Acquisition.
Land Commission records are not compiled by reference to specific districts such as those mentioned in the question. For County Tipperary (SR) and County Waterford as a whole, however, the reply takes the form of a tabular statement which, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—

2. During the last three complete financial years the aggregate area allotted in Counties Tipperary and Waterford were approximately 6,400 and 2,600 acres, respectively.
