§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, with reference to the proposed redistribution of the Baslichane farm on the Butler estate, Waterville, County Kerry, by the Congested Districts Board, all the applications made by those interested have been inquired into and considered.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Congested Districts Board have considered all applications from tenants on the Butler and Hartopp estates now in the Board's possession, for land on the Baslichane farm, and have made arrangements for the disposal of the greater part of the farm to their tenants on these adjoining estates. No applications from tenants or sons of tenants on estates not purchased by the Board have been entertained, because the land available for distribution is not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Board's own tenants.
