HC Deb 25 July 1910 vol 19 c1760
Mr. HACKETT

asked whether the agricultural tenants on the Penefather-Hare estate, situated near Ballingarry, county Tipperary, have agreed to purchase their holdings; whether the agent, Mr. Taylor, refused to include the village of Ballingarry in the sale; and, as the houses in the village were built by the present occupiers or their predecessors in title, and as many of them are also tenants of agricultural land in the vicinity of the village, whether the Estates Commissioners will investigate this case with a view to having the village included in the sale?

Mr. BIRRELL

Agreements for the direct sale to the tenants of the agricultural portion of this estate have been lodged with the Estates Commissioners under the Irish Land Act, 1903. When the estate is being dealt with in order of priority the Commissioners will consider the question of the inclusion of the holdings situate in the village of Ballingarry.
