§ Mr. GINNELLasked why tenants on an estate in course of sale are not, as parties having rights, informed of the main stages of the transaction in time to enable them to protect their interests, and the sale of one portion of an estate is completed rendering it impossible afterwards to relieve congestion on another portion; whether the congested sub-tenants on a portion of the Pollard-Urquahart estate, Westmeath, apparently not offered for sale, who have appointed a representative to communicate on their behalf with the Estates Commissioners, will be informed in time of the date of inspection and allowed to state their circumstances to the inspector on the ground; and whether the Commissioners, before declaring the property an estate, will hear the claim of those sub-tenants to be included in the sale, and to have their holdings enlarged from the adjoining non-residential land and from Cammagh bog on the same estate?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that the first paragraph of the hon. Member's question appears to be based upon a misapprehension. When the estate referred to in the latter part of the question is being inspected the Commissioners will cause inquiries to be made as to the other matters referred to by the hon. Member.
