§ MR. FLAVINTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state what action the Estates Commissioners have taken in connection with the tenants' holdings at Lixnaw, on Lord Listowel's estate, North Kerry, which are subject to floods; and whether, before the sale is sanctioned, the Estates Commissioners will see that the tenants are adequately safeguarded.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners are at present considering the question of retaining, out of the purchase money of this estate, a sum with the object of providing assistance in the maintenance of the waterways, embankments, and sluices in the district.
