I am not sure if there are any land records for these counties lurking
in the Irish Land Commission records, unless perhaps they were cross
border estates.
I know that most of the records for the counties you mention were
transferred to the Public Record Office in Belfast quite some time ago.
They are not digitised unfortunately and I have not used them, because I
didn't know of their existence until a year ago, until Dr Des McCabe
gave a Zoom talk about them. They are open to in-person researchers,
unlike those in Dublin.

Hello Listers
Irish Land Claims Commission
See news item in the Irish Times as below

Anyone with insight or experience as to whether there are records for
county Tyrone, Donegal, Londonderry still “hidden” amongst the papers of
the Irish Land Claims Commission?
If so, how do we access them, how can we assist in enabling these too to
be digitised and shared?
Finding and releasing these would make a wonderful “Community Project”
for 2022!
