HC Deb 10 December 1908 vol 198 c774
MR. LUNDON

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, if he can say how matters stand at present as to sale and purchase between the O'Grady Delmege and his tenants around Knocklong and Glenbrohane parishes; have the Estates Commissioners taken, or do they intend to take, any action to test the bogus tenancies on the Garryspillane farm of 145 Irish acres, whereby facilities are afforded to graziers and ranchers to utilise those fertile lands for their flocks and herds, to the exclusion of tenants around having uneconomic holdings and of poor farmers' sons and other landless people.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have no knowledge of the negotiations which may be proceeding in the case of this estate. No proceedings for sale have been instituted before them.
