§ MR. BOLANDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that all the estates held by middlemen under Trinity College in the neighbourhood of Kenmare have been sold to the tenants, with the exception of the F. G. Mayberry estate; that there are at least eight evicted tenants of this estate who have not been restored to their holdings; and that the condition of the other tenants was disclosed at the inquiry held by the Trinity College Commission last year; and whether, in view of the applications for purchase made by the tenants, he will call the attention of the Estates Commissioners to this estate.
MR. WALTERLONGMR. Mayberry's estate has not yet come before the Commissioners, but I am informed that negotiations for sale to tenants are proceeding. The applications of the evicted tenants will be considered when the estate comes before the Commissioners.
§ MR. BOLANDIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the tenants can get no answer from this landlord to their request that negotiations should be entered upon?
§ MR. WALTER LONGI am not aware of that.
