§ Mr. FLAVINasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he can say when John Diggins, an evicted tenant at Ballyline, near Ballylongford, was reinstated; whether any grant of money was given to him to buy stock and build houses; and, if not, will he say why this was not done, in view of this man's circumstances?
§ Mr. CHERRYI understand that this man was reinstated in May last. The Estates Commissioners have sanctioned an advance in his case for the erection of buildings and a free grant for the purchase of live-stock, and have directed one of their inspectors to arrange for the expenditure of the money as soon as possible.
§ Mr. FLAVINCan the right hon. Gentleman say when that money will be expended? He has been reinstated since May and has not received anything yet.
§ Mr. CHERRYI really could not say. The hon. Gentleman knows that there are thousands of those cases and they must be dealt with in their order.
