§ MR. O'SHAUGHNESSYOn behalf of the hon. Member for North Kerry I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have received 895 applications from Mrs. Kate Scanlan, of Tullihinnell, Ballylongford, in the county of Kerry, evicted tenant on the estate of M. V. Blacke Douglas, for reinstatement in her holding: and whether, having regard to the fact that the estate is being sold under the Land Act, 1903, and that Mr. Figgis, solicitor, Dublin, is in occupation of the lands, they will direct their inspector in the county of Kerry to inquire at once into this case and take stops to have her reinstated.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners have received an application for reinstatement of the former tenant mentioned, and have referred it to one of their inspectors for enquiry and report.
