§ MR. HAYDENI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the estate of Sir N. R. O'Conor, situate near Roscommon, was sold in February, 1905, to the tenants on the understanding that a farm known as Tangalee would be divided amongst them, and that this condition has not been fulfilled; and whether he will explain the cause of delay.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that the agreements for purchase lodged in connection with the sale of this estate include agreements for the purchase of nine holdings in Tanlagee, The lands comprised in the originating application for the sale of the estate include 162 acres in Tanlagee, which it is proposed to sell to the Estates Commissioners as untenanted land. The estate has not yet been dealt with, but the Commissioners will consider the question of the enlargement of small holdings when the untenanted land is being disposed of.
