§ Mr. LUNDONasked the Chief Secretary whether the lands on the Cleary Minors estate, at Athlacca, county Limerick, have yet been inspected and a price agreed upon; and, if so, when may the land be distributed among the deserving applicants in the district?
§ Mr. BIRRELLA preliminary inspection of these lands has been made. The formal proceedings for the sale of this estate under the Land Purchase Acts were only instituted in November last. The Estates Commissioners have not issued any proposal for the purchase of the lands, and at this stage of the proceedings they are unable to say when the lands will be distributed.
