§ MR. J. P. FARRELLTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether applications have been received from Joseph Mulooly, senior, and Joseph Mulooly, junior, for reinstatement in their farms in the parish of Rathcline, county Longford; whether the inspector has yet visited these men and reported upon their case; whether he is aware that there are several large farms in this neighbourhood which could be easily acquired for the purpose of providing equivalent holdings for these men; and will he now direct that steps be taken towards this end.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners have received an application for reinstatement from Joseph Mulooly, but whether the applicant is senior or junior does not appear. The application has been referred to an inspector for investigation.
