Mr. HOGAN
The Land Commission have offered to sell the parcel containing 35a. 3r. 0p. on the estate in the townland of Cappaghlodge to the Clare County Council, as trustees under Sections 4 and 20 of the Irish Land Act, 1903, as amended by Section 18 of the Irish Land Act, 1909, and Section 69 of the Land Act, 1923, for the purpose of providing pasturage for approved householders in Sixmilebridge. There are no arrears of annuity on this land.
asked the Minister for Lands and Agriculture if the Carroll estate, Tulla, Capporoe, Nenagh, had yet been divided, and if he has received applications from John O'Brien, Michael O'Brien and Denis Flanagan, Erinagh, Capporoe, for allotments of that estate, if he is aware that those three men are uneconomic holders residing in the near neighbourhood of the estate, and are living on 19 acres of land valued at £4 15s., £5 and £4 10s. respectively; that they sent in a joint application through a solicitor to the Land Commission, but have not been interviewed by the Land Commission Inspector or notified of his attendance for the purpose of dealing with the estate, and whether the Minister will take steps to have their grievance in this respect remedied.

The owner has accepted the offer of the Land Commission for purchase of the untenanted lands of Outrath containing 211a. Or. 8p. or thereabouts, but the lands have not yet been vested in the Land Commission and it is not possible to state at present when they will be divided. The offer was only accepted on the 11th.
