HC Deb 22 November 1888 vol 330 cc1814-5
MR. TUITE (Westmeath, N.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he can now state when the Sub-Commission, under the Land Act, will visit the County of Westmeath; and, whether, having regard to the large number of fair rent applications pending in that county, and to the hardship imposed on the tenants by their being obliged to pay the old rents pending the fixing of the new rents, an early date will be fixed?

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN) (Dublin University)

(who replied) said, the Land Commission reported that a Sub-Commission would sit at Mullingar about the middle of next January.
