§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will say if negotiations are pending for the sale of the estate of the late Colonel Saunderson in county Cavan; how many evicted tenants have claimed to be reinstated on this estate; what quantity of untenanted land will be available; and will the Commissioners see that after the reinstatement of the evicted tenants the balance of the untenanted lands will be given to those holders of uneconomic farms on the estate.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that no proceedings in respect of the sale of the estate referred to in the Question appear to be pending before them. In the event of the untenanted land on the estate being dealt with by the Commissioners, the claims of the evicted tenants and tenants of uneconomic holdings on the estate will be considered.
