§ MR. WILLIAM ABRAHAM (Cork County, N.E.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state whether the Estates Commissioners have given further consideration to the claim of Mrs. Alice Nagle for reinstatement in her former holding at Ballinabollisk, on the Leader estate, county Cork; and whether, seeing that the present occupier of the farm only entered into possession of it in 1902, and that the sale and purchase of the estate, as a whole, is now being proceeded with, the Commissioners will consider the desirability of taking steps to ascertain the terms upon which the present occupier would be willing to give up possession of the farm to Mrs. Alice Nagle.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners have decided that Mrs. Alice Nagle is a fit person to be provided with a holding if one can be found for her, and they have referred the case to their inspector with the object of providing a holding if possible.
