§ Mr. GUINEYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in how many cases of plantations having been cut or in progress of cutting have the Estates Commissioners been notified according to Section 32 of the Land Act (Ireland), 1909, in county Cork; and have the proprietors of holdings on which plantations are situate received any notice of the requirements of this Section?
§ Mr. BIRRELLFour applications under Section 32 (2) of the Irish Land Act, 1909, for consent to the felling of trees by tenants were received by the Department of Agriculture from county Cork. Consent was given in three cases, and the fourth application is still under consideration. The Estates Commissioners inform me that a copy of the Section referred to is forwarded to each purchasing tenant to whom it may apply when the holding is vested in him by the Commissioners.
