MR. C. MACVEIGH (Donegal, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state what is the cause of the delay in completing the sale to the tenants on the Mansfield estate, near Killygordon, county Donegal, who signed agreements to purchase their holdings two years ago, and are still paying the old rent to the 1422 receiver without reducing the period of, their instalments payable to the Estates Commissioners; and will he say when the sale will be completed.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that there has been no, undue delay in dealing with this estate, the purchase agreements in respect of which were lodged in July, 1905. The advances applied for have recently been sanctioned, and the sale will now be completed as soon as possible.
