§ MR. J. MACVEAGH (Down, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state the names of Land Commissioners and Sub-Commissioners now serving in Ireland; and whether there is any official record of the religious denominations to which they belong.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) I would refer the hon. Member to Parliamentary Paper, No. 231, of last session, which contains a list of the Judicial and other Commissioners, and of the Legal and Lay assistant Commissioners and Assessors then in office. That list still holds good subject to the following alterations—
§ Judicial Commissioners: Mr. Justice J. O. Wylie has replaced Mr. Justice R. E. Meredith.
§ Legal Assistant Commissioners: Mr. J. H. Edge has retired.
§ Lay Assistant Commissioners: Messrs. J. Clarke, L. Croasdaile, R. Donovan, T. L. Esmonde, and P. H. Grierson are no longer serving; Messrs. M. Flanagan, J. Gill, J. J. Howard, P. Lafferty, T. Linehan, J. D. Beckett, A. Bestall, R. Coll, P. F. Mullally, and W. Small have since been appointed.
§ There is no official record of the religious opinions of the Commissioners.
