§ MR. FLYNNI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, whether it has been brought to the knowledge of the Estates Commissioners that there is a quantity of untenanted land in the Doneraile district, county Cork, including land on the estate of Lady Castletown; and whether, in view of the fact that many evicted tenants in the locality are anxiously looking for suitable agricultural holdings, the Commissioners will make inquiry into the feasibility of acquiring a portion of those lands.
§ MR. CHERRYThe Estates Commissioners are not at present negotiating for the purchase of the untenanted land alleged to exist on the estate of Lady Castletown, but will cause inquiries to be made in regard to such land.
§ MR. FLYNNMy Question was not intended to refer solely to the Doneraile portion of the Castletown estate, but to other lands also in the immediate neighbourhood.
§ MR. CHERRYOf course, the Commissioners will deal with the entire estate.
