Lands awaiting distribution in the townland of Russelstown comprise two small holdings, aggregating 31 acres, and it is hoped that allocation will be effected in the coming spring.
I am aware that the Land Commission are concerned to obtain further land with a view to enlarging the many smallholdings in the locality and are examining every means to this end.
