§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will say how many evicted tenants have been reinstated in West Cavan; how many are in process of being restored to their old holdings; have the Estates Commissioners purchased any untenanted land, or are they negotiating for same; and, if so, will he give the approximate figures.
MR. BRYCEAccording to the Estates Commissioners' Returns, 19 evicted tenants have been reinstated in the County Cavan, and seven other cases are in process of settlement. The Commissioners have not yet purchased any untenanted land in the county, but have made an offer for 275 acres.
§ MR. KILBRIDE (Kildare, S.)Can the right hon. Gentleman give any indication of the price offered to the landlord and why he refused to sell.
§ MR. KILBRIDEYou ought to have.
