HC Deb 21 February 1905 vol 141 cc761-2
MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is in possession of any information respecting the proposed sale of the Newman Estate, Dromore, Mallow, county Cork, showing that the Estates Commissioners are prepared to sanction the advance to the vendor notwithstanding his desire to exclude from the transaction a tenant named Timothy O"Callaghan, who holds under to purchase on similar terms to the other tenants; and, if so, whether the Estates Commissioners will delay completion of the sale until this judicial tenant is included in the transaction.

(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) Mr. Newman has expressed his intention of resuming possession of this holding on the expiration of the statutory term, under Section 21 of the Act of 1881. He has also undertaken, in case he fails in his application for resumption, to sell to Callaghan on the same terms as to the other tenants. Under these circumstances the Commissioners have not required the owner to include the holding in the estate.
