§ MR. DELANYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that an inspector from the Land Commission, named Cunningham, called on the representatives of the late Patrick Byrne, of Tully, an evicted tenant on Lord Lansdowne's estate, Luggacurran, Queen's County, at their residence, Woodstock Terrace, Athy, on June 22nd, 1905, and stated that he had only fifteen acres of land to offer them; and whether he will take steps to secure that a larger holding 632 shall be given to the representatives of Patrick Byrne, who was evicted from a holding of 120 acres in 1887, owing only one half-year's rent and the hanging gale.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThe representatives of the evicted tenant claimed a holding of 120 acres. The inspector explained that it would only be practicable, having regard to the number of other applicants, to consider a claim for a small holding of from fifteen to thirty acres. No such claim was preferred, and the inspector, who carefully considered their circumstances, felt unable to recommend any allotment to them.
