The question appears to refer to the balance (84 acres) of the Kennedy estate at Coolemine, in the hands of the Land Commission. Proposals for the disposal of this area are being considered by the Land Commission, but it is not yet possible to state when the lands will be finally allotted. In the meantime, they have been let for conacre and grazing up to the 1st December, 1946.
