HC Deb 14 March 1904 vol 131 cc985-6
MR. CULLINAN (Tipperary, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, as there are 166 appeals to the Head Land Commission from the county of Tipperary listed, and as a sitting of the Commission has not been held for years in that county he will have steps taken to have those appeals heard without further delay.

MR. WYNDHAM

Appeals from South Tipperary were listed for hearing at Waterford on the 22nd instant, but owing to local objections these cases have been withdrawn from the list. It has not been possible yet to arrange a sitting for the disposal of the South Tipperary cases.

MR. CULLINAN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that these cases have been listed over a year?

MR. WYNDHAM

They would have been heard at Waterford but for local objections.

MR. CULLINAN

Yes, because of the inconvenience of taking so large a number of Tipperary cases to that town.
