HC Deb 02 March 1905 vol 142 c193
MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Mr. St. George R. Johnstone, J.P., of Kinlough, county Leitrim, is about offering for sale at Rathclive, county Longford, a grazing farm of ninety-six acres which would be suitable for the providing for evicted tenants of equivalent holdings under the Land Purchase Act, 1903; and, if so, will he direct the attention of the Estates Commissioners to this farm with a view to its purchase and sub-division amongst the evicted tenants of the county Longford.

MR. ATKINSON (for Mr. WYNDHAM)

No application for the sale of this estate has been made to the Estates Commissioners, and I see no necessity for taking any special course with respect to the farm referred to.
