NOTE:— Separate records for West Waterford are not compiled. Perhaps, however, it might meet the Deputy's requirements to know that in County Waterford as a whole at present, negotiations are in progress for voluntary purchase of three further properties aggregating 562 acres. In addition, 6 Estates totalling 435 acres, are currently the subject of enquiries.
