§ Mr. J. P. FARRELLasked the Chief Secretary whether any progress has been recently made with the settlement of the turbary dispute on the Douglas estate at Bann, Kilnashee, etc., county Longford; and if it is possible to receive a deputation from the tenants aggrieved by loss of turbary, will he consent to do so, having regard to the fact that forty-nine out of ninety-five of them have repudiated the sale and will not agree to the terms unless the bog is properly divided?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to his question on this subject on the 13th February last, to which I have nothing to add.
§ Mr. J. P. FARRELLasked whether any complaints have reached the Estates Commissioners as to the division of bog on the Edgeworth (Drumderg and Corralinan) estate; and will an inspector be now sent to adjust these disputes to the satisfaction of all parties?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estate Commissioners received a communication from the hon. Member as to the arrangement of tenants' boundaries on the bog on this estate, and informed him that this estate is being sold direct to the tenants by the owner, and that the demarcation of the boundaries of the tenants' holdings is a matter for the owner. When the estate is reached in order of priority the matter referred to will be inquired into by the inspector.
