§ MR. SHEEHANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of 320 Ireland if he will state in what manner and from what persons the inspectors of the Land Commission make inquiries as to whether accommodation for labourers is needed on any estates for the purchase of which applications were received under the Irish Land Act, 1903; which is the estate on which the accommodation for labourers is reported to be insufficient but for which no scheme has yet been framed by the Estates Commissioners; and will he give the names and rural areas of the five largest estates on which accommodation is reported to be sufficient.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe inspectors inquire whether accommodation is needed for labourers on the estate. If they are of opinion that the existing house accommodation is insufficient having regard to the ordinary requirements of the district, they are instructed to specify how such accommodation may best be supplied. The information is procured locally. On the estate of Louis Perrin-Hatchell, in county Wexford, it has been reported that the accommodation is insufficient. The other five estates referred to are the Duke of Leinster's, counties Kildare and Meath; L. G. Kemmis, Queen's county; H. C. Gillman, Cork; J. H. Edge, Queen's county; and M. H. Hyndman, Tipperary.
