HC Deb 16 August 1889 vol 339 c1473
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Monaghan, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a large number of the tenantry on the Templeton and Hope estates in the Castleblayney Union have had applications to have a fair rent fixed listed for hearing by the Land Sub-Commission for nearly two years, and which have not yet been heard; whether he is aware that the landlords of these estates are issuing ejectments against these tenants, with the purpose of depriving them of the right to have fair rents fixed; and whether he will cause the Land Commission to promptly afford facilities for hearing the cases of these tenants?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

As I have not yet received a Report I must ask the hon. Gentleman to defer the question.
