§ MR. DELANY (Queen's County, Ossory)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether an application for reinstatement has been received by the Estates Commissioners from the representative of the late Lawrence M'Evoy, who was evicted from a holding on the Sheane estate at Johns-grove, near Rosenallis, Queen's County, in 1882; and, if so, can he say whether the claim will be recognised in the forthcoming Bill of the Government.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners have received from Lawrence M'Evoy an application for reinstatement in a holding from which his father was evicted. This holding was sold to the tenant in occupation prior to the Act of 1903. The Commissioners will consider the application in connection with the allotment of any untenanted land which they may acquire.
