§ Mr. J. P. FARRELLTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether in the case of Charles McDermott and others, evicted tenants on the estate of Lord Annaly, in the parish of Rathcline, the Estates Commissioners will make some grants to them for the purpose of assisting them to rebuild their houses and out-offices on restoration after being evicted.
(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) The advances on the sale of this estate were made under the 40th Section of the Act of 1896, and the Commissioners, therefore, have no power, under the Act of 1903, to make grants for the purpose mentioned.
