§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord- 1442 Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have received an application for reinstatement from Con Mahony, who was evicted from his holding near Kilgarvan in September 1882; and whether, seeing that negotiations are in progress for the sale of the estate to the occupiers, he can say whether any, and, if so, what steps have been taken to secure the reinstatement of this evicted tenant whose family had been in this holding for six generations.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that they have received the application referred to, and have referred it to their inspector for inquiry. The inspector's report has not yet been received.
