HC Deb 19 February 1901 vol 89 c490
MR. CULLINAN (Tipperary, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what is the cause of the delay in the hearing of a, number of cases in the Tipperary Union in which notices to fix judicial rents for the second terms were served more than two years ago; and whether he will make a representation to the Land Commission on the subject.

MR. WYNDHAM

A list containing a large number of cases from this union was issued on the 22nd ultimo, and the hearing of this list commenced at Cahir on the 6th instant. There are no cases now unlisted from the Tipperary district in which applications are pending for so long a period as that stated in the question.

MR. CULLINAN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware of the fact that the delay in dealing with these cases has prevented settlements for the purchase of some of the property?

MR. WYNDHAM

I am not aware of that. I think the delay regrettable.

MR. FLAVIN

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the desirability of appointing more Land Commissioners?

* MR. SPEAKER

Order, order !
