MR. O'KKLLY (Roscommon, N.)I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether he is aware that great delay has occurred in dealing with applications to have fair rents fixed in that portion of Roscommon included in the Carrick on Shannon Union; that originating notices served in 1887 have not yet been dealt with by the Land Courts, and that the landlords are pressing for full rents; and whether he can undertake to expedite the hearing of cases in the district of Roscommon?
§ MR. MADDENThe Land Commissioners report that two sets of Assistant-Commissioners have been working continuously in the county Roscommon since October last, and will continue in that county until all the originating notices received before December, 1887, have been disposed of. There has been no unnecessary delay in the disposal of cases from the district referred to, the several unions having been taken up in their turn. There is no official information that the landlords are pressing for full rents. Lists will shortly be issued for the district of Roscommon mentioned.
