§ MR. HOGAN (Tipperary, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been drawn to the sale of the O'Dwyer estate, county Tipperary; will he say if the evicted tenant, Patrick Hogan, has been reinstated; how many tenants are there on this estate; what is the purchase price; was it arrived at by consent; was any negotiating fee allowed; and, if so, how much and to whom was the same assigned.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that no proceedings for the sale of this estate have been instituted before them, and they have not been able to arrange for Hogan's reinstatement upon the evicted farm. In the event, however, of the Commissioners acquiring any untenanted land in the locality they will consider the question of allotting a portion of it to Hogan.
