asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries whether he can state if the lands of Tully, on the McGee Russell Estate, Co. Roscommon, have been purchased by Mr. William Connellan, Kilmore; if he is aware that a number of uneconomic holders in that district are anxious to secure additions to their holdings, and if these uneconomic holders have made representations through their solicitor to the Land Commission about this farm; and what action he proposes to take.

The Land Commission are making inquiries as regards the alleged sale of the lands of Tully on the McGee Russell Estate to Mr. William Connellan. Representations have been made to them on behalf of a number of small holders regarding those lands.
