§ Mr. DELANYasked the Chief Secretary whether a memorial has been received by the Estates Commissioners from Richard Kearney, a sub-tenant on the estate of Mrs. Odium, Cappencur, Tullamore, King's county, praying that he may be included in the sale and afforded an opportunity of purchasing his holding; and, in view of the fact that the estate only comprises one farm, the tenant of which is Mr. John M'Bride, Kilcooney, Cloneygowan, Portarlington, and that Kearney is the sole sub-tenant on the property, will he see that his right to purchase under the Act of 1903 is made a condition of the sale?
