§ MR. MEAGHER (Kilkenny, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether representations have been made to the Estates Commissioners on behalf of Martin Loughton or his relatives, evicted tenants, for reinstatement to his holding on the Kavanagh estate, Ballyragget, county Kilkenny; and, if so, what steps the Commissioners have taken in the matter.
MR. BEYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that they have received an application for reinstatement on behalf of Martin Loughlin who is stated to reside in America. From inquiries which have been made, it would appear that the holding in respect of which his claim is made is at present in the occupation of three new tenants. No steps have been taken by the Commissioners in regard to the reinstatement of Martin Loughlin.
