§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Congested Districts Board have inspected and offered a price for the Rae Estate, Keel, county Kerry, at present held by the Irish Church Body; whether that price has been several times refused by them; and whether, if tenants in congested districts who are willing to pay the price fixed by a Government valuer are thus prevented from getting the benefits of the Land Purchase Act by syndicates of this class, steps will be taken to have the law so amended as to give compulsory powers to the Congested Districts Board to deal with all such cases.
MR. BRYCEI am afraid that I am not in a position to add anything to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member's similar Question on 5th March.†
