§ MR. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether Mr. Lindsay Talbot Crosbie, of Ardfert, has offered about 300 acres of untenanted land to the Estates Commissioners for the enlargement of uneconomic holdings and the giving of allotments of land to the labourers of the Ardfert district; whether the untenanted land has been inspected; what prices has Mr. Crosbie asked for the 300 acres; and what price have the Estates Commissioners offered for the same.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The owner referred to has offered 320 acres of untenanted land for sale to the Estates Commissioners, who have had the land inspected and made an offer for it. The owner, however, has declined to accept the Commissioners' price. It would be contrary to practice to publish particulars of prices asked or offered in such cases.
