HC Deb 29 April 1897 vol 48 cc1233-4
DR. ROBERT AMBROSE (Mayo, W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the large number of applications for the fixing of fair rents in the County Mayo, he will direct an immediate sitting of the Land Commission for that purpose?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (MR. GERALD BALFOUR, Leeds, Central)

A list of cases from the County Mayo has only recently been disposed of; a further list containing cases from the Unions of Ballina, Killala, Belmullet, and Westport has been prepared, and will shortly be issued, and the cases on this list will, I hope, shortly be disposed of. The Executive have no power to give the direction mentioned.
