§ MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland in reference to the O'Connell and Huddleston estate, Farrankeal, Knocknagree, county Cork, whether application has been made by the representatives of the landlords or by the tenants to the Estates Commissioners for the purchase 809 of this estate; and, if so, with what result; and if the intervention of the Commissioners, with a view to effect a settlement, be requested will they send their inspector to investigate and report concerning this property.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Estates Commissioners inform me that they are unable to trace the receipt of any application by the landlord or tenants in respect of the estates mentioned in the Question If the latter part of the Question is intended to refer to the possible action of the Estates Commissioners as conciliators under Section 8 of the Regulation of 1906, the Commissioners will, I have no doubt, give due consideration to any application which may be made to them in the matter.
