§ MR. FLAVINI beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland whether he is aware that representations were made to the Land Commission by a number of tenants on the Trinity College property situate at Cahirciveen, County Kerry, to have their rents fixed out of court by Land Commission valuers, and that the land agent for Trinity College refused to accede to this request of the tenants; whether he can state the number of tenants whose applications are now awaiting trial at Cahirciveen; and when will the next sitting of the Land Commission be held at Cahirciveen for the fixing of fair rents.
§ MR. ATKINSONI believe the fact is as stated in the first paragraph. The agent acted entirely within his rights, and the matter is not one in which the Land Commission can interfere. There are seven fair rent applications from tenants on this estate which have not yet been listed for hearing by a Sub-Commission. The date of the next sitting has not at present been fixed.
§ MR. FLAVINCan the right hon. Gentleman say why these tenants have not got a reduction of 40 per cent. on their judicial rents, the same as Ulster tenants?
§ MR. ATKINSONI certainly cannot.
