§ MR. CULLINAN (Tipperary, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if the Estates Commissioners have several times communicated with Count Moore in connection with the reinstatement of Mrs. Moroney in her evicted farm at Kilross, and with what result; and what further steps the Commissioners contemplate taking.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners inform me that, having received no reply from the owner to their offer to make an advance for the purchase of the holding in question, they have decided to take steps to acquire it compulsorily under the provisions of the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907.
