§ MR. LUNDONI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland is he aware that negotiations for sale of the estate of the Synans in Carnane, Fedamore, county Limerick, have been in progress for some time through the Court of Chancery, with the view that this untenanted land may be apportioned in small farms to the labourers and farmers in the district, which is a congested one; is he aware of a public requisition having been made, through the Court, of letting the crop of those lands to the surrounding tenants, pending final disposition, rather than to hand it over to the eleven months graziers; and will he take steps to secure that the people of the locality may as soon as possible get possession of those untenanted lands.
§ MR. WALTER LONGI refer to the reply given to the hon. Member's previous Question of April 13th.† I am informed that as the conditional order for sale of this estate has not yet been made absolute, negotiations for sale through the Court would be premature.
