§ MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is now more than two years since the Land Sub-Commissioners sat in Kanturk District, County Cork, to hear fair rent applications; whether he is aware that a large number of these applications in this district under the Act of 1881 have been listed for a considerable time, and have not yet been heard, also that a large number of leaseholders' applications under the Act of 1887 have been listed, and not yet heard; and, whether, under these circumstances, the Land Commission will arrange for a sitting of the Sub-Commissioners at Kanturk on an early day?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)The Land Commissioners inform me it is the case that a Sub-Commission last sat at Kanturk in April, 1886. All cases listed 1460 were then heard, with the exception of one which was adjourned. There are at present, including leaseholders' applications, 500 cases unheard. It is probable a Sub-Commission will sit in the Kanturk Union next July.
