HC Deb 15 August 1913 vol 56 cc2823-4W
Mr. FLAVIN

asked the Chief Secretary whether a complete inspection has taken place on the Ormathwaite estate in connection with the extension of five turbary plots in the townland of Lissahane; whether the recommendations of the Estates Commissioners' inspector with regard to these extensions have been complied with; whether the Estates Commissioners, in September, 1912, gave instructions to Mr. Fitzgerald, the negotiator of this sale, or to the solicitor acting for him, that the inspector's recommendations with regard to the extension of these turbary plots should be carried through; whether one of the tenants who claims the extension, and who has not yet signed a purchase agreement, and who has accepted the award of the Estates Commissioners' inspector, provided extension of turbary be given to him, is to be deprived of the advantages to be derived by him through the purchase of his holding; and whether the Estates Commissioners are prepared to enforce the recommendations of their inspector?

Mr. BIRRELL

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the question of the hon. Member for Cork City on this subject on the 28th July, to which I have nothing to add.
