§ MR. MAGUIRE (Clare, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Government arbitrator, to award compensation for lauds taken by the South Clare Railway, held his final Court last April, and has not yet published his award; and whether, in view of the injustice and inconvenience so caused, he will inquire into the causes of the delay, and accelerate the publication of the award?
MR. J. MORLEYI am informed that the delay has been due to unavoidable causes, but that the final award will be lodged in a few days. I do not gather that the delay has caused injustice or inconvenience, the greater part of the occupiers' claims having been settled by agreement.
