§ MR. DUFFY (Galway S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any steps 456 have been taken by the Estates Commissioners to confirm the arrangements made by the tenants on the Candclear property, Raeveagh, Clarenbridge, county Galway, and the agent, Mr. Talbot Crosbie, in respect to the Coolratty farm; and seeing that ten months have since elapsed without an opportunity having been given the tenants to effect such changes and improvements as are required, and in view of the urgency of the work, will he direct the Commissioners to proceed at once to the settlement of this property.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners are unable to identify the property referred to from the particulars given in the Question, but if the hon. Member will furnish me with the name of the owner of the estate, the Commissioners will make further search. The Commissioners are making all possible efforts to accelerate the despatch of business, but the quantity they have to deal with is very large.
