§ MR. O'SHAUGHNESSYTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can say whether the Estates Commissioners have received an application from Mrs. Bridget O'Connell, of Ards, Ballygran, Charleville, in the County of Limerick, evicted tenant, for a portion of the untenanted lands at Cappananty, on the estate of Captain Lyons; and, if so, whether, having regard to the fact that her people lived on the estate, and also to the fact that she has three sons who are able to work land and who have good recommendations as to character, they will favourably consider her claim.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners inform me that they have received an application from Mrs. Bridget Connell in reference to a holding of three and a half acres at one time occupied by her husband. The Commissioners have decided to take no action in the matter.
