§ MR. LUNDON (Limerick, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland how do matters, as to sale and purchase, stand as between Mr. Lefroy, the landlord, and the town tenants of Cahirconlish, county Limerick; has Mr. Lefroy made any offer of sale to the Estates Commissioners; have thirty-five plots been apportioned to as many labourers, of one statute acre each; if so, under what Act or procedure are those lots to be given to the labourers; and will he use his influence that the town tenants may as soon as possible obtain the purchase of their houses and a division between them of the adjoining demesne.
§ MR. WALTER LONGA preliminary inspection of the demesne has been made, but no decision as to purchase has been arrived at. The Commissioners understand that the district council are negotiating with the owner for the purchase of thirty-four acres of land for labourers' plots.
