§ Mr. SHEEHANasked the Chief Secretary whether the Estates Commissioners have received the report of their inspector in reference to the scheme for the distribution of the untenanted lands on the Gould-Verschoyle estate, Athea, county Limerick; can he state the class of persons and give the names of the parties who are scheduled for parcels of this untenanted land; have other than evicted tenants, small holders, and labourers been recommended by outside parties for portions of this land; and will he see that it is only distributed amongst the deserving classes mentioned?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have had an inspection made to estimate the price which they would be prepared to advance for the lands referred to, but no scheme of distribution has been prepared as the lands have not yet been acquired.
