§ MR. WILLIAM ABRAHAM (Cork County, N.E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord - Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners are in negotiation with Sir E. Hudson Kinahan, for the purchase of untenanted grazing land on his estate at 412 Glenville, county Cork; and, if so, whether it is the intention of the Estates Commissioners to utilise this land, when acquired, for the purpose of adding to the uneconomic holdings of tenants on the estate or providing holdings for evicted tenants.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that they are considering the question of purchasing untenanted land on the estate in question, and with that object have directed an inspection of the estate. Until the Commissioners have received their inspector's Report, they cannot say how they may utilise the land, should it be acquired by them.
