§ Mr. SCANLANasked the Chief Secretary if he will explain why the Estates Commissioners have excluded Peter Finnan, of Dunoula, Templeboy, county Sligo, from the number of purchasing tenants on the Hillas estate; whether all the other tenants have purchased through the Estates Commissioners; and whether his case will be dealt with by the Estates Commissioners or the Congested Districts Board?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that they have not excluded this man from the sale. They have made an advance of £40 to him for the purchase of his holding.
