HC Deb 02 August 1912 vol 41 c2504W
Mr. O'DOHERTY

asked the Chief Secretary whether he will state what the Estates Commissioners propose doing with the farm 31,097/11, on C. F. Stewart property, situate at Ray, Rathmullan, county Donegal; and whether he is aware that it was promised to divide, as the town is much congested?

Mr. BIRRELL

This estate is the subject of proceedings for sale direct by the owner to the tenants under the Irish Land Act, 1903. The owner has, however, offered to sell some untenanted land on the estate to the Estates Commissioners, who have the matter under consideration. They have no information as to the promise referred to in the second paragraph of the question.
