§ MR. J. REDMOND (Waterford)I had intended to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that several of the tenants recently evicted on the De Freyne estate, in the County of Roscommon, have since their eviction been without shelter; that the police have prevented the erection of shelter for the tenants referred to and their families; and that a large force of police are still on the spot preventing any attempt whatever to provide for them house accommodation; and whether the Government intends to take any action with a view to succouring the evicted tenants of Lord De Freyne during the coming winter? I had further intended, owing to the gravity of the situation, to ask leave to move the 359 adjournment of the House; but as I have received an intimation that the Chief Secretary for Ireland cannot be in his place, I will postpone the question until the right hon. Gentleman can attend. I trust I may be permitted to express a hope that the indisposition of the right hon. Gentleman is only temporary.
