§ Mr. LUNDONasked the Chief Secretary if the Estates Commissioners will acquire the untenanted land on the estate of Stafford Delmege, at Garryspillane, Knocklong, county Limerick; if so, how soon may it be available for distribution among the deserving people of the locality; has the place been inspected; and what is the cause of the delay in having the sale completed, seeing that it is now six years since the tenanted portion of it was settled for?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe hon. Member presumably refers to the estate of A. W. Stafford Delmege, county Limerick. Agreements for the purchase of their holdings by the tenants on the estate were lodged with the Land Commission in April, 1907, and the estate has not yet been reached in order of priority. When it is being so dealt with due inquiry will be made as regards the untenanted land thereon.
