HC Deb 19 February 1883 vol 276 cc303-4
MR. T. A. DICKSON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether three Assistant Commissioners from the counties of Galway, Dublin, and Wicklow respectively have been lately appointed to the county Antrim Sub-Commission; and, whether it is a fact that these gentlemen have had no previous experience or knowledge of the Ulster custom?

MR. TEEVELYAN

I referred this Question to the Land Commissioners, and have received from them the following reply:— The residences of three of the Assistant Commissioners on the Antrim Sub-Commission are respectively in the counties Dublin, Galway, and Wicklow. The Land Commissioners allocated the different Assistant Commissioners appointed by the Lord Lieutenant to different districts according to the best of their judgment and discretion; and having done so, after much care and consideration, they must decline to discuss or meet complaints made against particular Assistant Commissioners.
