§ MR. J. P. FARRELLTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any application has been received by the Estates Commissioners from Peter Victory for restoration to him of the farm on the Dopping Estate to which he is entitled; and whether, as arrangements are now about being made for the sale of this estate to the tenants, care will be taken by the Estates Commissioners that the evicted tenants on the property, including Peter Victory, are readmitted to their holdings.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Estates Commissioners have received Peter Victory's application for reinstatement, not on the Dopping Estate, but on the estate of Captain White. The applicant states that his former holding is occupied by Patrick McGirney, and the Commissioners' records show that McGirney has already purchased under the Land Act what is presumably the holding in question. Victory's application will, however, be inquired into by the local inspectors in due course.
