§ Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSYasked the Chief Secretary if he can say what steps the Estates Commissioners are taking to reinstate John O'Neill, of Rockhill, Bruree, in the county of Limerick, in the farm from which he was evicted on the Carleton estate; is he aware that the landlord and his agent have no objection to his reinstatement by the Commissioners, and that the tenants on the estate have signed agreements to purchase their holdings; 575W and whether, under these circumstances, he will see that there is no further delay in the matter?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that O'Neill's former holding is in the occupation of another tenant. The estate on which it is situate will be dealt with in order of priority, but its turn has not yet come. The case will be considered in the allotment of untenanted land in the neighbourhood of the estate when acquired.
