The Land Commission are not aware that the lands of Newtownallen, on the estate of Miss Margaret Byrne, record No. S.8800, County Kildare, have been seriously abused owing to conacre lettings, but inquiry will be made into the matter. A scheme for the division of these lands has not yet been prepared and, until this scheme has been completed and settled, it will not be possible to say when the lands will be divided.
