§ MR. J. P. FARRELLTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any offer has been made to the Commission to purchase the Dopping (Derry Cassay) estate in North Longford; if the Commissioners have approached the landlord with a view to a sale which will include the restoration of the twenty-five evicted tenants on this property; and, if not, will they now undertake to do so.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.)—The Estates Commissioners inform me that no proceedings for the sale of the estate mentioned appear to have been instituted before them. The Commissioners have not yet been able to inquire into the applications of the evicted tenants, but this will, of course, be done.
