HC Deb 26 March 1913 vol 50 cc1660-1W
Mr. HAZLETON

asked the Chief Secretary the reason of the delay in connection with the sale of the Redington estate, townland of Peak, parish of Claregalway, county Galway; and whether it is proposed to divide amongst the tenants the two large non-residential grazing farms on the estate held by Mr. P. Ryan and Mr. J. Kearney?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Congested Districts Board have agreed to purchase the estate referred to, including the townland of Peak. The question of taking up the farms held by Messrs. Ryan and Kearney has not yet been considered by the Board.

Mr. FRANCIS MEEHAN

asked the Chief Secretary whether the Estates Commissioners will consider the claim of Michael Flynn, Praughlish, county Leitrim, when dividing the Aughacashel farm, having regard to the fact that he is the only evicted tenant in the parish and that there is no other land available in that district?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners cannot provide Michael Flynn with a holding on this estate, the purchase of which is being completed by the Congested Districts Board.
