J. Harley, U.S.A.; that the house thereon is in ruins; that several applications have been made by the holders of uneconomic holdings in the vicinity to the Irish Land Commission to have that holding acquired, and if he will state what steps, if any, are being taken to provide economic holdings for the tenants in the vicinity of that holding whose poor law valuations are under £10.
