HC Deb 25 November 1909 vol 13 cc459-60W
Mr. PATRICK WHITE

asked whether the lands of Mullaha, near Rathkenny, Slane, county Meath, have been offered by Colonel Kelly Paterson to the Estates Commissioners to purchase; and what action has been taken by the Commissioners?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have had a preliminary inspection made of the lands, and have intimated to the owner the price they would be prepared to advance if formal proceedings for sale were instituted before them. Up to the present the owner has not instituted such proceedings.
