§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to a recent sale of 9,000 trees in Rathcline demesne, County Longford, which practically means the destruction of all the trees in that portion of County Longford; and, if so, can he undertake to introduce some clause into the Irish Land Bill to prevent such destruction of trees in rural parts of Ireland.
§ MR. WYNDHAM4,000 trees have been sold, to be removed within five years.
§ MR. J. P. FARRELLWill the right hon. Gentleman give favourable consideration to an Amendment to the Land Bill to stop the destruction of trees?
§ MR. WYNDHAMAnything practical to safeguard trees in Ireland will have favourable consideration.
