§ Mr. REDDYasked what steps the Estates Commissioners had taken to acquire the untenanted land at Mullaghkrawn, near Banagher, King's County, on the O'Hara Trench estate; and, seeing that attempts were being made by eleven-months' graziers to get possession of this land, would immediate steps be taken to have it bought up and distributed among the deserving people in the district?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that the O'Hara Trench estate which was purchased by the Estates Commissioners under Section 6 of the Irish Land Act, 1903, comprises some 423 acres of untenanted land, of which 121 acres were situated on the town land referred to. This untenanted land has since been allotted. The Commissioners subsequently made an offer for the purchase of 224 acres on the same estate to be sold to them as untenanted land, but their offer was not accepted by the vendor.
