§ MR. LUNDON (Limerick, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the case of Thomas O'Dea, of Milltown, Kilteely, county Limerick, later on of Margaret O'Dea, his widow, to have a fair rent fixed on their farm as between their landlord and tenant, was entered for hearing by originating notice served on the Land Commission on the 29th September, 1898; and, if so, can he say why the matter has been left in abeyance for so long a time, seeing that other tenants on the same property whose originating notices were served about the same time have had their cases long since adjudicated on; and can he say how soon the Sub-Land Commissioners will sit in Tipperary to hear applications for the fixing of fair rents.
§ MR. ATKINSONThe application of Thomas O'Dea will, it is hoped, be heard at an early date, which, when arranged, will be notified to the parties. No application has been lodged by or on behalf of Margaret O'Dea. A date has not yet been fixed for the next sitting of a Sub-Commission at Tipperary.
