§ MR. FLYNNI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners are aware that on the Fuge estate, Templemary, near Buttevant, county Cork, there are, approximately, 1,000 acres of untenanted land; and whether, in view of the fact that there are six or seven evicted families in the district who formerly occupied these lands and who are anxious for reinstatement, the Commissioners will take immediate steps with a view to acquiring these lands which are now partially used as a grazing ranch.
§ MR. CHERRYThe Estates Commissioners have approached Mr. Richard Fuge in pursuance of the regulations with a view to purchasing about 350 acres of untenanted land in his occupation. A preliminary estimate of the price which the Commissioners are prepared to offer has been furnished to Mr. Fuge, and the matter is pending.
