§ MR. HALPIN (Clare, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Michael Maloney, of Ballina, Labashuda, county Clare, a tenant on the estate of the Hon. C. W. White, is not yet reinstated in his farm, although it was inspected in April, 1905; whether, seeing that the greater part of the estate is now sold to the tenants, he will inquire what is the cause of the delay in reinstating Mr. Maloney; and at what approximate date will the reinstatement take place.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners have made an offer to the land judge for the purchase of the estate in question, but it has not yet been decided whether the offer will be accepted The Commissioners are considering whether it may be possible to bring about the restoration of Michael Maloney.
