§ MR. DELANY (Queen's County, Ossory)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state the reason why the compulsory provisions of the Evicted Tenants Act were not put into operation for the purpose of reinstating Mathew Conroy, the Castle Farm, Clonaslee, Queen's County, and his family, who were evicted within the limit set down under the Act of 1903, and whose farm remains untenanted on the landlord's hands.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners are inquiring into this case with a view to deciding whether they will acquire the lands under the Evicted Tenants Act.
