MR. PATRICK O'BRIENOn behalf of the hon. Member for South Meath, I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have received an application for the sale of Captain E. R. Taylor's Bective Estate, county Meath; whether Mrs. O'Reily, an evicted tenant of the estate, has made an application to be reinstated; whether the lands from which she was evicted are untenanted and let on the eleven months system; and, if so, whether the sale can go forward without having regard to Mrs. O'Reily's case.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThe reply to the first and second inquiries is in the affirmative. The evicted tenant's holdings, however, are not included in the estate which is being sold, but her application will be considered when the estate is being dealt with.
