§ 33. Mr. SCANLANasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that the Castletown estate, situate in the parish of Castleconor, county Sligo, has been for many years past vested in the Congested Districts Board; that the estate has been sub-divided into farms by the board, and fourteen houses built thereon and completed over two years ago; and, seeing that only seven of those farms and houses have been let to tenants, what steps the board are taking to give over the remaining seven farms and houses for the relief of congestion in the district?
§ Mr. DUKEThis estate was vested in the Congested District Board in February, 1914. Congestion on the estate has been relieved, and the seven farms referred to have been held over for suitable migrants from other congested estates. Tenants are being selected, and it is expected that they will be in occupation by the end of next January at latest.
