HC Deb 05 March 1912 vol 35 c203
Mr. FRANCIS MEEHAN

asked what progress, if any, the Congested Districts Board have made with regard to the purchase of the Marsham, West, and Benison estates, Ballinaglera, county Leitrim?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Congested Districts Board inform me that the estates of George Marsham and W. H. West in the Union of Carrick-on-Shannon, county Leitrim, have been inspected and the question of making offers for purchase will probably be considered by the Board at their meeting next week. In May, 1911, the Board gave their consent to a direct sale from the landlord to the tenants of the estate of J. J. Benison, county Leitrim.
