HC Deb 15 July 1907 vol 178 c342
MR. JOHN ROCHE (Galway, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether Mr. Young has offered to sell his estate at Derrahiney, county Galway, to the Estates Commissioners; if so, does the offer include the entire estate; and, if not, what portion is reserved?

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have approached Mr. Young with a view to the purchase of his untenanted land in county Galway, and have been informed by Mr. Young that he farms the land himself and does not wish to sell it.
