§ Mr. BOLANDasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what steps, if any, will be taken by the Estates Commissioners to secure the reinstatement of the representative of the late Michael O'Sullivan in his holding at Dooks, county Kerry?
§ The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)The Estates Commissioners have carefully considered the application of this man's daughter, and have decided to take no action in the matter.
§ Mr. PATRICK O'BRIEN (for Mr. Thomas F. Smyth)asked when the Estates Commissioners will have houses built, or give grants for the same, for the evicted tenants who have been reinstated on their holdings at Stroke, Ballinamore, county Leitrim, on the Marsham estate, as the houses in which some of those tenants at present reside are entirely unfit for human habitation?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that one of their inspectors is arranging for the expenditure of the sums sanctioned for buildings in this case.
§ Mr. PATRICK O'BRIEN (for Mr. Thomas F. Smyth)asked if the Estates Commissioners will reconsider the case of Hugh Fox, Lissicairn, Ballinamore, county Leitrim, with a view either of restoring to him the portion of land from which he was evicted on the Harbison-Maguire estate, or else giving him compensation in lieu of it, so as to avoid any further friction in the district, and particularly as all the other evicted tenants in the locality have been reinstated?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have decided not to take any action on Hugh Fox's application for restoration to two acres of his former holding, which comprised 22 acres. He has already been reinstated in the remaining 20 acres. The two acres in question are in the occupation of another tenant.
