§ Mr. JAMES O'KELLYasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that Bernard Martin, the former tenant of a farm known as Clooncruffe, on the Kilronan estate, Keadue, county Roscommon, was evicted 16 years ago for non-payment of rent, and that the Commissioners promised to reinstate him but have failed to do so; and whether, under the circumstances, he will direct the attention of the Commissioners to the case with a view to having Martin either restored to his home or provided with another under the provisions of the Act?
§ The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)As I have already informed the hon. Member in reply to a question on the same subject asked by him on the 28th June last, the Estates Commissioners have inquired into Bernard Martin's application and have decided not to take any action in the matter.
