HC Deb 02 May 1902 vol 107 c571
MR. HAYDEN (Roscommon, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the tenants in the neighbourhood of the Gannon Estate, near Athlone, which is now on the market for sale, have made representations to the Congested Districts Board with reference to the purchase of the said estates for sub-division; and whether the Board will make inquiries into the suitability of this property for acquisition by them with a view to meet the wishes of the people concerned.

MR. ATKINSON

The Board have made inquiry, and find that this, estate is not suitable for the purpose of enlarging holdings or for migration.
