HC Deb 06 December 1911 vol 32 c1551W
Mr. O'SULLIVAN

asked whether trustees have been appointed by the tenants on the O'Donoghue estate, Head-ford, to deal with turbary rights, and have these trustees been sanctioned by the Estates Commissioners; and whether on the Kenmare estate the Estates Commissioners have insisted on appointing the trustees themselves?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners inform me that the purchase agreements in the O'Donoghue estate, which is being sold direct by the owner to the tenants, provide that the turbary is to be vested in certain trustees named in the agreement. In the case of the Kenmare estate it was provided in the purchase agreements that the management and the disposal of the turbary were to be vested in trustees to be selected by the tenants or the Commissioners and the Commissioners appointed trustees for the management of the turbary pending the completion of the sale.
