§ MR. KILBRIDE (Kildare, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners received an application last year from Garret Stynes for reinstatement in his holding situated at Plunketstown, Graney Electoral Division, Baltinglass Rural District, No. 3, county Kildare; if he is aware that the holder of this farm, Thomas Jawler, has instructed Mr. E. P. O'Kelly, auctioneer, Baltinglass, to sell the holding; and whether, with a view to the reinstatement of Garret Stynes, he will instruct the Estates Commissioners to enter into communication with Mr. O'Kelly or buy the farm at the auction.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Estates Commissioners inform me that the matter referred to in the Question is at present before them, and they are making inquiries in regard to it.
