§ Mr. DUFFYasked the Chief Secretary whether the estate of Captain T. G. Burke, and others, situate at Kilmeen, Loughrea, is listed amongst the estates to be dealt with by the Estates Commissioners; is he aware that a number of the tenants are poor farmers with an average valuation of £3; and, having regard to the urgency of affording some help to those poor tenants, will he direct the attention of the Estates Commissioners to the peculiar circumstances of this estate, and request them to deal with it immediately?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThis estate is pending before the Estates Commissioners for sale to them under the Irish Land Act, 1903, and will be dealt with in order of priority, but having regard to the prior claims of other estates, the Commissioners are not at present in a position to say when its turn will be reached.
