§ MR. CLANCY (Dublin Co., N.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he is aware that applications from the County of Dublin for the fixing of fair rents, which were lodged so far back as September and October of last year, are still unheard; and, if so, whether he will take steps, by strengthening the Sub-Commission for the Dublin District, to have this arrear of business disposed of at an early period in the coming year?
THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN)(who replied) said (Dublin University)The Land Commissioners report that all cases received up to, and including, the 28th of September, 1887, are listed for the Sub-Commission at present sitting in the County Dublin. It has not been possible yet to fix a date for any sitting after the present one.
§ MR. CLANCYsaid, he might, perhaps, be allowed to remind the hon. and learned Gentleman that Dublin 237 County was entitled to special facilities, because nearly all the farmers of that county held under leases, and were not able to enter the Land Courts in earlier years.
