§ MR. MURPHY (Kerry, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Cragg and Ardcrone Farms, county Kerry, purchased by the Congested Districts Board over a year ago, are practically derelict and cannot be used for any suitable purpose by the Board owing to the circumstances under which they were purchased; and, if so, whether the Board would be prepared to reconsider the question of these farms with the view of effecting a reinstatement of the original tenants who were evicted from them.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThese lands have been fully stocked with cattle during the past year. As to the remainder of the Question I beg to refer the hon. Member to the Answer which I gave to his previous Question of the 10th April.†
§ MR. MURPHY; Is it not the fact that the cattle are merely the property of the local graziers and farmers and that no practical use is being made of the farms?
§ MR. WALTER LONGI do not know who are the owners.
