§ Mr. LUNDONasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether Patrick Whelan, planter on the Cloncurry estate, at Brittas, Boher, county Limerick, was offered a farm in the county Louth, in lieu of the one he holds at present; had Whelan accepted the offer of the Commissioners or had he not; and, in the latter case, what 888 reason had he assigned for not accepting the terms offered?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners offered this man a farm in county Louth, but he declined to accept it, as he does not consider it an equivalent for his present holding.
§ Mr. CULLINANWill this man be treated as an ordinary evicted tenant?
§ Mr. BIRRELLWe will do what we can for him.
