asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state whether, having regard to the fact that the tenants on the Talbot Mostyn Estate, Co. Westmeath, were not informed that the vendor was not agreeable to sell at the estimated price, and that, consequently, they did not apply to have third term rents fixed, the estate will become purchaseable under the provisions of Section 22 (3) of the Land Act, 1923, and whether the rent will be taken as that at which the tenants have been paying interest for the past fifteen years?
WRITTEN ANSWERS. - PURCHASE OF TALBOT MOSTYN ESTATE.
Inquiries are being made in the Irish Land Commission regarding this matter, and a written reply will be handed to the Deputy next week.
