§ MR. MEEHAN (Queen's County, Leix)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, whether he is aware if an application has been made by the owner for sale to the tenants of the Dooner Estate, Bally roan, Queen's County; whether the application of Peter Singleton, an evicted tenant, to get back his former holding has been considered; and, if so, can he state the result.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Estates Commissioners inform me that proceedings for the sale of this estate have been instituted before them, and that the case of Peter Singleton, who has applied for reinstatement as an evicted tenant, will be considered at the earliest opportunity.
