HC Deb 23 July 1908 vol 193 c353
MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the agreements for the sale of the Dease estate, at Cloneen, in North Longford, have yet been lodged; whether he is aware that irritation exists amongst the tenants on account of an alleged unfair division of the bog by the landlord; and will he direct the attention of the Estates Commissioners to this estate with a view to their making a scheme, under Section 21 of the Land Act of 1903, in reference to the bog.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners inform me that no purchase agreements in respect of this estate have yet been lodged with them. They have no information as to the division of the turbary, and can take no steps in the matter until the estate comes before them to be dealt with.
