HC Deb 17 December 1902 vol 116 cc1508-9
MR. M'GOVERN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware † See (4) Debates, cxv., 1233. that the estate of the late Sir F. Hort, in the County of Cavan, was ordered to be sold by the Land Judge in 1893, and has been in the hands of a receiver since that date; and can he state why the judge's order was not carried out, or why the estate has not been offered to the tenants under the provisions of the 10th section of the Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1896.

MR. WYNDHAM

The Land Judge is informed that at present this property cannot be sold to the tenants, as the redemption of the superior interests would amount to more than any sum which would be expected to be advanced by the Laid Commission. He is also: informed that the tenants are aware of the difficulty.
