§ MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY (Limerick, W.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can say whether the estate of John Christopher Delmege, deceased, situate at Glensharrold, in the County of Limerick, is still in the Land Judge's Court; and, if so, whether any steps have been taken to bring about a sale of it to the tenants under the Land Act of 1903.
§ (Answered by Mr. Birrell.) I am informed by the registrar of the Land Judge's Court that all the tenants on this estate except one purchased their holdings in 1902. In the outstanding case the tenant refused to purchase on the same terms as the others. The Land Judge is now about to have the case of this tenant listed for discussion, and, if necessary, the provisions of the 40th Section of the Act of 1896 will be put into operation.
