§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland can he state the number of tenants on the Annaly (County Longford) estate who have purchased their farms through the Land Commission; whether any applications were refused; and, if so, how many and on what grounds; and whether inquiry will be made from the receiver as to his reasons for not carrying into effect the promises he made to induce tenants to sign undertakings to purchase their farms from him, which undertakings whilst binding the tenants have not been given effect to by the receiver.
§ MR. ATKINSONI have not yet received sufficient information to enable me to reply to this question, and will ask the hon. Member to repeat it to-morrow.
