§ Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSYasked the Chief Secretary if he can say whether proceedings for the sale of the estate of the Knight of Glin, situate at Glin, in the county of Limerick, to his tenants are taking place under Section 6 of The Land Act, 1903, or by direct sale between the landlord and the tenants; and whether, before the sale is completed, the Estates Commissioners will make inquiry into the position of those tenants on the estate who have refused to sign purchase agreements on the ground that the price is too high?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that the owner has instituted proceedings to sell this estate direct to the tenants under the Irish Land Act, 1903. When the estate is being inspected in order of priority inquiry will be made as to the cases of any tenants who may not have signed purchase agreements.
