HC Deb 27 July 1905 vol 150 cc615-6
MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry. W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any, and, if so, what estates in Kerry either let directly by Trinity College to tenants or to middle landlords have yet been sold under the Land Act of 1903; what is the price to tenants and the price demanded of landlords for the redemption of their head rents; whether any steps have been taken for the sale of the Wren and Stokes Estates; and, if not, will he explain why.

MR. WALTER LONG

The reply to this Question is in the negative.

MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL

Have any steps been taken to enable this landlord to carry out the Act?

MR. WALTER LONG

I am fully aware of the importance of this Question. I cannot say when the Government will be in a position to make any recommendation on the subject.
