HC Deb 24 February 1911 vol 21 c2295W
Mr. GILHOOLY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether, seeing that an inspector has several months ago visited Dursey Island, Castletown Bere, with a view to reporting whether the holdings should be vested in the tenants who have lodged agreements in 1905 he is aware that the tenants are paying an annuity of four per cent. on the purchase money; and can he explain the delay in vesting their holdings in these tenants?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners inform me that there has been no delay in the proceedings in regard to this estate. They hope to be in a position to advance the money and vest the holdings at an early date.
