Mr. POWERasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have received a copy of a resolution adopted by the Faha and Stradbally branch of the Irish Land and Labour Association, requesting that, in parcelling out any portion of the Parker, the Beresford, and the Fairholme estates, county Waterford, the cottier tenants living on these estates or near them will receive a portion of such lands; and whether their claims will be duly considered in the distribution of these lands?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have received the resolution referred to. There appears to be no un-tenanted land on the Fairholme and Parker estates pending for sale before the Commissioners, and the untenanted land on the Beresford estate is required for tenants evicted from that estate.
