§ MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland in reference to the Hungerford and Clorahn estate, Lacka, County Cork; whether the Estates Commissioners will state why they cannot take any action in respect to the application of James and Geoffrey Ring, evicted tenants, for reinstatement in their holdings.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Estates Commissioners inform me that after careful inquiry and consideration of the cases of James and Geoffrey Ring, they came to the conclusion that these applicants were unsuitable for restoration as tenant purchasers, and accordingly decided not to take any steps towards their restoration.
