HC Deb 03 July 1905 vol 148 c748
MR. DELANY

TO ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord - Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Mrs. Margaret Conlan, of Mullaghanard, Rosenallis, Queen's County, a tenant on the estate of the Earl of Drogheda, has been served with a receivable order for interest in lieu of rent, amounting for five months to £6s 5. 10d., which represents twenty-eight years purchase of the present rent of her farm; and whether, as Mrs. Conlan states she signed no agreement to purchase, he can say what course the Estates Commissioners are going to take in this matter.

(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) This receivable order was issued in error, and Mrs. Conlan has been so informed by the Commissioners. No proceedings for sale to her are before the Commissioners.
