§ Mr. O'DOHERTYasked the Chief Secretary whether his attention has been 572W drawn to the fact that the Earl of Leitrim has created two new tenancies at Cooladerry Mountain, parish of Clondavaddog, county Donegal, on 27th May, 1910; and, if so, what steps does he propose or direct the proper parties to take in the matter?
§ Mr. BIRRELLNeither the Congested Districts Board nor the Estates Commissioners have any knowledge of the matters referred to in the question. Section 16 (1) of the Irish Land Act, 1909, provides that no advance shall be made under the Land Purchase Acts in respect of the purchase of a holding if the tenancy was created after 15th September, 1909. I have no power to interfere in the matter.
