§ MR. P. MEEHAN (Queen's County, Leix)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been directed to the fact that Mrs. Rose Dunne and her son William Dunne, representatives of the late Michael Dunne, an evicted tenant on the Lansdowne estate, Queen's County, have made application for reinstatement to the Estates Commissioners; whether he is aware that these people sacrificed a great deal in the land war, and that they are most suited to work land; and whether the Estates Commissioners will allot them a holding, equivalent to the farm of sixty-two acres formerly held by Michael Dunne, when distributing land on the Cooper Hill estate about to be acquired by the Estates Commissioners.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners will consider this application in connection with the allotment of such untenanted land as they may acquire.
