HC Deb 23 June 1899 vol 73 cc450-1
MR. FLAVIN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ire- land whether he is aware that great inconvenience is caused to a very large number of people in North Kerry by the hearing of appeals in fair rent cases in the county of Kerry at Killarney by the Appeal Commissioners; and whether representations will be made to the Land Commissioners to hold their Appeal Court at Tralee, which is the most central place in Kerry.

MR. G. W. BALFOUR

Lists of appeals for hearing at Killarney invariably contain cases from the County Kerry generally, as well as cases from North West Cork. Killarney is selected as the place of sitting owing to its central position, which renders it the most convenient place for the parties concerned, as well as for the Land Commissioners, whose public duties do not permit of their holding sittings for the hearing of special cases in each of the towns within the area from which the cases for hearing have been listed.

MR. FLAVIN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that tenants from this district cannot get home the same night?

MR. G. W. BALFOUR

I cannot say if that is so.
