§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Irish Church body have refused to sell the Hickson Estate in the barony of Corcaguiny, County Kerry, though the tenants are willing to purchase and the landlord to sell; and whether he will take steps to secure that, when landlord and tenant agree as to sale of land, no third party shall have the power to prevent it.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM, Dover)I am unable to say whether the facts are as stated, but in any case the Government cannot intervene administratively to impair the exercise of any legal right which may exist.
