§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the holding on Teenan's estate, County Donegal, of which Patrick Fox, Ardfinnan, near Bundoran, was tenant, and whose late tenant surrendered the holding to the Commissioners with a view to the reinstatement of the original tenant, has been included in the purchase scheme of the Teenan's estate; and, if not, will steps be promptly taken to secure the inclusion of this holding in the purchase scheme of this estate.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell). The holding in question is included in the estate proposed to be sold to the tenants the present occupier, William Rogers, having signed an agreement for its purchase. The Commissioners understand that Rogers is prepared to surrender the farm to Fox on receiving compensation, and the question of compensation is at present under the Commisioners' consideration.
