The number of trusts set up by the former Land Commission-Congested Districts Board and currently recorded by my Department on a county basis is set out in the following list. In the case of sportsfield trusts they vary in size from two hectares, up to — in a few cases only — 100 hectares for cowpark-turbary trusts. The average size for cowpark-turbary trusts would generally be around 13 hectares.
