§ MR. JOHN O'CONNOR (Kildare, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the sale of certain estates in the county of Kildare has been delayed and hampered owing to ignorance on the part of the parties as to the terms upon which the Trustees of Trinity College, Dublin, are willing to sell the head rents of the same; can he say whether the Trinity College Estates Commission appointed to inquire into the sale of the Trinity College estates has yet reported; and whether it will deal with the question of the terms on which such head rents will be sold.
§ MR. WALTER LONGI have no information to the effect stated in the first part of the Question. The estates referred to have not come before the Estates Commissioners. As to the remainder of the Question, I would ask the hon. Member to await the Report of the Trinity College Commission, which has been received and will shortly be laid on the Table.
§ MR. JOHN O'CONNORIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the sale of certain estates in county Kildare cannot be completed until the Report has been received?
§ MR. WALTER LONGThere will be no delay in laying the Report.
