HC Deb 14 February 1911 vol 21 cc1019-20W
Mr. GUINEY

asked the Chief Secretary the cause of delay in issuing vesting orders to the tenants on the Anne O'Keefe estate, situate at Copsefield, Newmarket, county Cork, agreements to purchase having been signed in April, 1906, and the other portions of this lady's estate having been vested in the tenants?

Mr. BIRRELL

The estate referred to is on the principal register of direct sales (all cash), and, having regard to its position and the claims of other estates in priority to it, the Estates Commissioners cannot at present say when its turn will be reached, but when so reached it will be dealt with as rapidly as possible. The Commissioners are not aware that any portion of the estate is vested in the purchasing tenants.
