HC Deb 21 May 1909 vol 5 cc802-3W
Mr. DELANY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether he is aware that 500 acres of untenanted land on the estate of the late Arthur J. Owen, Aghaboe, Queen's County, is being offered for sale by his representatives and likely to be purchased privately; and, in view of the number of small holdings in the locality requiring enlargement, as well as evicted tenants still unprovided for, will the Estates Commissioners take immediate steps to acquire this land?

Mr. BIRRELL

I have nothing to add to my reply to the question on the same subject asked by the hon. Member on the 1st April last.
