HC Deb 25 July 1905 vol 150 c188
MR. O'DOWD

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether untenanted grass farms situate in the baronies of Cavan and Ligny, in the county of Sligo, have, with the sanction of the Estates Commissioners, been sold to non-residential graziers and others since the passing of the Act of 1903; and, if so, whether he can give the number of such sales, the names of the purchasers, and the amounts of public money advanced for the purchase of these farms.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WALTER LONG, Bristol, S.)

The Commissioners are unable to identify these farms upon the information before them. If the hon. Member will furnish me with the names of the owners, further inquiry will be made.

MR. O'DOWD

I will send the right hon. Gentleman the information.
