§ MR. O'DOWD (Sligo, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether Sir Jocelyn Gore Booth, whose Bally mote, County Sligo, estate, has recently been sold to the tenants under the Act of 1903, is now anxious to come to an arrangement with his town tenants of Ballymote for the purchase of their town holdings situate on the same estate; and whether the Estates Commissioners will be instructed to co-operate with the landlord and tenants and facilitate this sale in every way.
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe holdings of the town tenants on this estate were not included in the sale which has already been completed. The Estates Commissioners are prepared to consider any application which may be made to them in connection with the suggested sale to town tenants.
