HC Deb 13 July 1914 vol 64 cc1511-2W
Mr. LYNCH

asked the Chief Secretary whether, in regard to the Vandeleur estate, West Clare, the delay in the vesting of the holdings in the tenants is due to the fact that negotiations with the landlord in respect to roads leading into the turbary are not complete; and whether he will consider the possibility of coming to an equitable agreement with the landlord at once, so that the remaining formalities may be disposed of and the tenants enabled to settle down?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have had this estate inspected, and they have issued their rulings to the owner which include the construction of certain roads and drainage works in connection with the allotment of the turbary of which there is a considerable area on the estate. The suggestion in the concluding portion of the question will be considered.
