§ MR. WILLIAM ABRAHAM (Cork County, N.E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state to whom the untenanted land acquired by the Estates Commissioners on the Clarke Estate, county Cork, has been allocated; and whether, after provision is made for the evicted tenants on the estate, preference will be given to the claims of evicted tenants in the immediate neighbourhood who are unable to obtain possession of their former holdings from the present occupiers.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThe question of the allocation of untenanted lands on this estate is still under consideration by the Estates Commissioners, who are making arrangements for the reinstatement of persons who have been evicted from holdings on the estate. The claims of other evicted tenants in the neighbourhood will subsequently be considered.
