HC Deb 26 November 1908 vol 197 cc698-9
MR. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the estate of M. H. Franks in North Kerry has been offered for sale to the Estates Commissioners, and, if so, has it been bought by the Estates Commissioners, and when: and, if bought, whether the agent to the landlord has any power or authority at present to take proceedings for arrears of rent due on the estate.

MR. BIRRELL

The estate in question has been offered to the Estates Commissioners, but they are not yet in a position to make an offer for its purchase.

MR. FLAVIN

Was not this estate offered to the Commissioners eighteen months ago, and are negotiations still proceeding?

MR. BIRRELL

I do not know. I will inquire.
