§ Mr. LYNCHasked the Chief Secretary whether he can state how far negotiations have proceeded in regard to the sale of the estate of R. J. Stacpoole, of Killard, county Clare; and whether, in view of the number of tenants whose holdings are of less than seven pounds valuation, this estate may be dealt with as soon as possible?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners are unable from the particulars given to identify the estate referred to as pending for sale before them under the Land Purchase Act. Negotiations for purchase of the estate have not been undertaken by the Congested Districts Board, but they will at once make inquiries.
