§ MR. LUNDON (Limerick, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that negotiations for sale and purchase are proceeding between the landlord, Mr. Delmege, and his tenants on the property of Garryspillan and other townlands around Knocklong, county Limerick; and will he take steps so that the Estates Commissioners shall purchase about 200 acres of untenanted land lying near Garryspillane for division among the poor farmers and labourers of the locality.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that no proceedings for the sale of this estate have come before them, and they have no knowledge of any negotiations for sale which may be 90 proceeding. If the estate should come before them they will consider the question of purchasing untenanted land in the locality.
