§ MR. O'SHAUGHNESSYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, if he can state the number of applications for reinstatement that have been received by the Estates Commissioners from evicted tenants in the county of Limerick or their representatives; whether they have sanctioned all of them, and in how many cases has reinstatement taken place; how many have been provided with equivalent holdings; and if he can say in how many of these cases has the settlement been brought about by the Estates Commissioners, and what steps they are taking to deal with the remainder.
§ MR. CHERRYI would refer to my Answer to similar Questions yesterday and the day before. The Estates Commissioners are preparing for presentation to Parliament a complete Return which will show all cases of restoration of evicted tenants, and in the meantime it is not proposed to prepare partial returns relating to particular districts. It is expected that the Return will be ready about the middle of next month.
