§ Mr. W. J. DUFFYasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that the Estates Commissioners have purchased the estate of Captain F. G. Burke and others, Ballydugan, Loughrea, and that there are holdings on the estate exceedingly small in acreage; and whether, seeing that the tenants have frequently asked the Commissioners, within the course of the past few years, to deal with the estate so as to afford them some chance of living, and having regard to the unfortunate state of the district, he will urge upon the Commissioners to deal with this estate at once?
§ Mr. CHERRYProceedings have been instituted for the sale of this estate under the Irish Land Act, 1903, and it will be dealt with by the Estates Commissioners in its order of priority.
