HC Deb 10 July 1884 vol 290 c677
MR. HEALY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, On what principle have the names of the fifty Sub-Commissioners selected for retirement on the 31st proximo been arrived at; and, how many Catholics will there be left on the Sub-Commissions?

MR. TREVELYAN

The Sub-Commissioners selected for reappointment have been chosen as men who will do their work in an able and impartial manner. Their names will be announced in the course of next week. The hon. Member will then be able to ascertain the religion of the gentlemen who are reappointed.

MR. HEALY

Might I ask the right hon. Gentleman—as this is important to the people of Ireland—whether he is aware that a strong impression prevails amongst the tenantry that the Sub-Commissioners who have shown interest for the tenants are to be chasséd?
