§ MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY (Limerick, W.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Mrs. O'Grady and T. Ahern,
‡See (4) Debates, clxxiii., 1043445 tenants of uneconomic holdings on the estate of the representatives of Colonel Brown, at Mount Brown, or Dromard, near Croagh, in the county of Limerick, want to get some of the untenanted land on the estate, which has been sold to the Estates Commissioners under the Land Act, 1903; and whether he will direct the Commissioners to inquire into their cases before these lands have been distributed.(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners are unable to identify, from the particulars given, the estate referred to in the Question. They inform me, however, that it is their practice, when distributing untenanted land, to give full consideration to all applications for a share of such land which they may receive from persons residing in the neighbourhood.
