I am glad to be able to report that land purchase has been completed in County Longford; the final vesting of all tenanted holdings in the county has been accomplished. As regards untenanted land the Land Commission, between the 1st April, 1947 and 31st March, 1954, allotted six estates and holdings and in so doing created two residential holdings and enlarged 79 uneconomic holdings. A statement showing these allotments year by year will, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, be circulated with the Official Report.
In the same period no rearrangements were effected.
