HC Deb 23 November 1914 vol 68 cc819-20W
Mr. DORIS

asked the Chief Secretary whether the estate of Phibbs Irwin, in lunacy, situate at Parke and Cashel, county Mayo, has yet been completed, or when the Board hope to acquire the property?

Mr. BIRRELL

The estate referred to has been inspected, and the Congested Districts Board hope to issue an offer for its purchase at an early date.

Mr. DORIS

asked the Chief Secretary whether Mr. John Durcan has yet lodged with the Congested Districts Board maps and papers relating to his estate in Cloonagleragh, county Mayo, with an offer to sell the estate to the Board?

Mr. BIRRELL

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. DORIS

asked the Chief Secretary whether the Congested Districts Board have been in communication with Mrs. Quinn with reference to the sale of her estate in Ringaraun, Errew, Castlebar, county Mayo; and, if so, with what result?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Congested Districts Board have not been in communication with Mrs. Coffey (formerly Mrs. Quinn) regarding a sale of the lands referred to. The Board can take no action in the matter until a decision is arrived at regarding the Pratt estate, on which, it is understood, Mrs. Coffey is the owner of a leasehold interest.

Mr. DORIS

asked the Chief Secretary whether the Congested Districts Board have been in communication with Mrs. Pratt as to the sale of her property in Ringaraun, Errew, Castlebar, county Mayo; and, if so, with what result?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Congested Districts Board have been in communication with Mrs. Pratt's solicitors regarding this estate, and they have been informed that it is proposed to lodge the maps and other documents necessary for the sale.
