§ MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have caused any further inquiries to be made respecting the case of T. E. Barrett, who was evicted sixteen years ago from his holding on the Grehan estate, Clonmeen, Banteer, county Cork, for the non-payment of a rack rent; are the Commissioners aware that this holding is untenanted and in the landlord's own possession; and whether, under the circumstances, they will proceed to exercise their power under the Act of 1907, with a view to the reinstatement of this tenant.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners propose to exercise their compulsory powers under the Act of 1907 in this case, and a notification to that effect will shortly be issued.
