§ MR. J. P. FARRELLTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in the case of evicted tenants' applications sent in after May, 1907, the Commissioners will direct their inspector to hold inquiries into such applications; and, if so, how soon these inquiries will be made.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners do not propose 340 to take any action upon applications from evicted tenants received after 1st May, 1907, unless and until the estates to which the applications relate come before them for sale under The Irish Land Act, 1903, or until the applications received prior to that date have been disposed of.
