HC Deb 20 June 1904 vol 136 cc494-5
MR. MURPHY (Kerry, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the estate of Mr. Daniel M'Cartie, at Headfort, near Killarney, is still under the control of the Land judge's Court, and that the proceedings for sale have been blocked constantly for frivolous causes; and, if so, whether he could request the Estates Commissioners or the Congested Districts Board to negotiate for the purchase of this estate, which is of a character suited for the operations I of the latter Board; and can he take steps to expedite the sale to the tenants.

MR. WYNDHAM

The Estates Commissioners will inquire whether the case of this estate is one in which they should issue a request under Section 7 of the Land Act.

MR. MURPHY

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that these proceedings have been pending for several years.

MR. WYNDHAM

The Estates Commissioners will deal with the great body of work before them as rapidly as they can.
