HC Deb 12 April 1897 vol 48 cc923-4
MR. JAMES GILHOOLY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state approximately when the sale of the estate of Mr. R. H. E. Whyte, which is situate near Bantry, County Cork, will take place?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. GERALD BALFOUR,) Leeds, Central

I am informed that it is not yet possible to state, even approximately, the date at which the sale of this estate will take place. The event will depend, in a very large measure, on the activity shown by the parties having charge of the proceedings.
