HC Deb 14 March 1901 vol 90 c1591
MR. O'SIIAUGHNESSY (Limerick, W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether; his attention has been called to a resolution of the Kilmallock Rural District Council in reference to the decisions of the Chief Land Commission recently sitting in Limerick, raising the rents fixed by the Rub-Commission in 40 per cent, of the cases tried before them; and, if so, whether he will take steps to legislate in the matter, as indicated by this rural district council, during the present session.

MR. WYNDHAM

The number of fair rent appeals heard by the commissioners at their recent sitting in Limerick was ninety-six. Of these the rents fixed by the sub-commissioners were raised in fifty-three cases, and reduced or affirmed in forty-one. In two cases judgment was reserved. The answer to the last paragraph is in the negative.

MR. O'SHATHGHNESSY

Did the Chief Commission raise the rents fixed by the Sub-Commission?

*MR. SPEAKER

Order, order!
