§ MR. CLANCYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether it is a fact that nearly 50 tenants living in the district of Rush, County Dublin, lodged nearly two years ago applications to have fair rents fixed, and have since been unable to get their cases heard by the Land Commission; and, if so, whether any steps will be taken to expedite the hearing of the cases of those tenants, and of other tenants in the County of Dublin who have served originating notices?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe Land Commissioners report that there are but 57 cases outstanding from the whole union of Balrothery, County Dublin, which includes the Rush district referred to, in respect of which applications to fix judicial rents were received prior to the 31st of December, 1888. A Sub-Commission will again sit for cases from this union at an early date. The Commissioners are making every exertion to have outstanding cases disposed of.
