§ Mr. WILLIAM ABRAHAMasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners can see their way to enter into communication with Mr. John J. Therry, junior, Mooresfort, county Tipperary, regarding his expressed willingness to give up the lands formerly in the occupation of Miss Clahane and other evicted tenants on the Grehan estate, Kildorrery, county Cork, with the view of their reinstatement as tenant purchasers, if the Commissioners can arrange to provide him with land of equivalent value elsewhere, and seeing also that the owner will place no difficulty in the way of the acquirement of these lands by the Commissioners?
§ Mr. CHERRYI have nothing to add to the reply given by my right hon. Friend to the question on the same subject asked by the hon. Member on 15th October last.
§ Mr. W. ABRAHAMMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether, in view of Mr. Therry's expressed willingness to sell, the Estates Commissioners will make inquiry in the matter?
§ Mr. CHERRYThe answer my right hon. Friend gave was that the Estates Commissioners were not aware that Mr. Therry was willing to surrender the farm, but that they were prepared to consider any representation he might make to them.
