The Land Commission do not keep records of proceedings for particular districts, but so far as can be readily ascertained the position at present in regard to the acquisition of untenanted land in the Ballymore Eustace district is that proceedings have been instituted and are pending in respect of 254 acres; and the question of acquisition is under consideration in respect of some 1,500 acres. The lands at present in hands for division in County Kildare do not appear to comprise any area in the Ballymore-Eustace district.
