§ Mr. LUNDONasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that a portion 1296W of the village of Cappamore, county Limerick, is subject to being flooded in cases of heavy rainfalls by the stream flowing from the Lloyd estate at Portnard; and will he urge on the Estates Commissioners the necessity for making an inquiry into the matter before completing the sale of the estate, and insist that steps be taken by the owners of the estate to prevent further flooding in this district?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe village of Cappamore does not appear to be included in the Lloyd estate at present pending for sale before the Estates Commissioners, who have no knowledge of the flooding referred to. When the Lloyd estate is being dealt with in order of priority, the Commissioners will send an inspector to visit the lands and to report to them as to all the conditions and circumstances of the estate.
