§ MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY (Limerick, W.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can say whether the Estates Commissioners have purchased the untenanted lands of Stylepark, Rockhill, in the county of Limerick, the property of Mr. F. H. Wise; if so, will they take steps to have them divided amongst the small holders and labourers in the district; and whether, in the event of their not having purchased the lands, will they take steps to do so.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners have had the lands in question inspected, and the owner has instituted formal proceedings for the sale of these lands to the Commissioners, who will deal with the matter with as little delay as possible.
