Land Commission records are not kept by reference to specific districts such as those mentioned in the question. For County Tipperary and County Waterford as a whole, however, the reply takes the form of a tabular statement which I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
TRANSACTIONS recorded by the Land Commission under the procedure authorised by Sections 33, 34, & 35 of the Finance Act, 1961. (These provisions were repealed by the Finance Act, 1965 and have been superseded by Section 45, Land Act, 1965.)
