§ Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSYTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can say whether it was with the view to purchase the untenanted lands at Morgans, Borrigone, in the county of Limerick, the property of Mrs. Sands, that the inspector of the Estates Commissioners visited them recently; and, if so, whether he has succeeded in bringing about a sale.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners inform me that their inspector visited the property of Mrs. Sands, county Limerick, in connection with the application of John Houlihan for reinstatement as an evicted tenant. At Mrs. Sand's request the inspector visited certain other lands in the neighbourhood, also the property of Mrs. Sands, but the Commissioners consider them unsuitable for their purposes.
