§ MR. MURPHY (Kerry, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if, having regard to the statement made in the Report of the Commissioners of Education in Ireland, just issued, that the offers made by their tenants in Ireland were refused because they were inadequate, he can furnish a Return showing the rental, the receipts, and expenses in connection with these estates, and the offers made by the tenants on each estate, in order that the statement may be examined; whether he can induce the Commissioners to arrive at terms immediately in the interests of the tenants, and whether he can tell how much the rents on these estates have been reduced in the last year and in the last fifteen years owing to the rent-fixing provisions of the said Acts.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThis question has been referred to the Commissioners, by whom it will be considered at their meeting on Thursday next. The result of that consideration will be communicated to the hon. Member.
