The Estate referred to comprises a holding containing 285 acres situate in the townlands of Islandmore and Knocknapisha, partly in the occupation of Valentine J. Blake and partly in occupation of 18 sub-tenants. The Land Commission have decided to treat the sub-tenants as separate tenants, and have retained the balance of the holding in the occupation of V.J. Blake, comprising 154 acres, with a view to resumption in order to alleviate local congestion.
