§ MR. SMITH-BARRYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state bow many evicted farms were taken by new tenants severally in the years 1890, 1891, and up to the end of August, 1892, in the Counties of Cork, Kerry, Limerick, and Clare; and how many such farms in the said counties have been taken by new tenants since August last?
§ MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)Has the right hon. Gentleman any knowledge how many of these evicted farms have been taken by bonâfide farmers and by Emergency men?
*MR. J. MORLEYI cannot answer that. I find that applications for Parliamentary Returns relating to evicted farms in Ireland have on all previous occasions on which they have been asked for been refused, and, on considering this 1499 precedent, and the reasons for it, I am afraid that I cannot furnish the details sought by the hon. Member.
