§ MR. LUNDON (Limerick, E.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if the Mountshannon estate, in county Limerick, has been as yet apportioned to any persons; and can he say whether the names of Hanora Lonergan, of Toomaline Doon, James Conway, of Guravalla Doon, Ellen Rafferty, of Knockroe Kilteely, and Simon Ryan, of Cross Pallasgrean, whose evicted farms have been grabbed, and who applied as far back as two years 1462 since for portions of this estate, have been favourably considered.
§ (Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners will not take possession of this estate until May next. In the meantime the scheme for the distribution of farms cannot be settled.
