§ Mr. JOHN MURPHYasked if the Estates Commissioners proposed to proceed with the sale of the estate of Mr. Pierce Gun Mahony at Cordal, county Kerry, while four tenants, one of whom had been evicted, were excluded from the sale, as they were unwilling to agree to the prices demanded; and whether the Commissioners had made any representations to the landlord as to the exclusion of these tenants?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe matter referred to in the first part of the question has not yet come before the Estates Commissioners for consideration. The reply to the concluding part of the question is that as yet the Commissioners have not made any such representations.
§ Mr. JOHN MURPHYAs the matter is of serious importance, may I ask the right hon. Gentleman to direct the attention of the Estates Commissioners to the fact that four out of 15 tenants on the estate are excluded because they will not agree to the improper prices demanded?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI can assure the hon. Gentleman that the Estates Commissioners are perfectly well aware of all the circumstances of the case.
