§ MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY (Limerick, W.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the 47 Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that the Estates Commissioners in the month of April last referred the ease of Denis Cronin, of Ballingarry, in the county of Limerick, representative of his mother, Catherine Cronin, deceased, evicted tenant, to one of their inspectors with the object of providing him with a suitable holding in lieu of the evicted farm; whether he is aware that Cronin has not yet got the holding; and will he press on the Commissioners the necessity and desirability of acquiring such a holding without delay as a provision for this young man.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners have already referred this case to one of their inspectors for consideration in connection with the allotment of untenanted land which the Commissioners have acquired, or for the purchase of which they are negotiating.
