§ MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY (Limerick, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that there is a number of cases where tenants of town parks, as defined by the Land Law (Ireland) Acts, 1870, 1881, surrendered these holdings on the ground that the rent was too high, and that they are now in the occupation of the landlords; and, if so, will he insert a clause in the Irish Land Bill, giving these tenants the right to purchase same at a price to be fixed by the Land Commission.
§ MR. WYNDHAMNo, Sir. I have no knowledge of cases of the kind mentioned. Such holdings, however, would not come within the scope of the Land Purchase Acts. I cannot give the undertaking suggested at the end of the Question.
