Q3 agreements are sale agreements between the former Irish Land Commission and the persons named thereon and are not viewed as title documents. These types of Q3 agreements are in respect of turbary rights only over defined plots as outlined in the 1st Schedule of the agreements.

In this case the sale agreement was signed in 1942 by the person named in the details supplied and described as deceased. The 2nd Schedule on this sale agreement which usually sets out the holding on which the turf is to be used is blank except for the entry of a Collection number. This number appears to refer to the former Mountcharles/Conyngham Estate and is cross referenced to a List of Vested Holdings published in Iris Oifigiúil on 19 May 1931.

Copies of the Q3 agreements are only available to the persons named thereon. I understand that there is a dispute as to use of the turbary plot in this case which is a private law matter between the parties concerned.
