WRITTEN ANSWERS. - IMPROVEMENTS IN ACHILL.
The area known as the townland and village of Dooniver, Bunnacurry, Achill, Co. Mayo, was included in the estate of Lord Sligo vested in the late Congested Districts Board, who purchased out the interest of the middle landlord.
The only lands on the townland remaining to be finally striped consist of rough mountain and bog used by the tenants for purposes of grazing and turbary.
There were five new houses built by the tenants with the assistance of the Congested Districts Board, and accommodation roads were made at a total cost of £736 4s. 2d.
