HC Deb 12 July 1904 vol 137 cc1364-5
MR. FLYNN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will explain why appeals in land cases from the Assistant Commissioner and from County Court Judges, which concern the Kanturk, county Cork, district, are heard in Killarney instead of Cork; and whether, in view of the additional expense to solicitors, tenants, and witnesses, as also the delay involved, the Land Commission will arrange to hear these appeals in Cork or Mallow, or other convenient centre in the county of Cork.

MR. WYNDHAM

There is direct railway communication between Kanturk and Killarney and the former is nearer to Killarney than to Cork. Killarney is regarded as the most convenient centre for the hearing of appeals, and no additional expense, I am informed, has been placed upon the parties by having their cases heard in Killarney, which was selected to suit the public convenience.

MR. FLYNN

Is it not possible to consult the convenience of those most concerned in these cases?

MR. WYNDHAM

It is impossible to suit everybody's convenience.
