§ Mr. MAURICE HEALYasked the Chief Secretary what steps the Estates Commissioners have taken to provide a holding for Mrs. Cummins, of Pencil Hill, Mallow, evicted tenant, as promised by them in the year 1908; whether he is aware that it was first proposed to provide her with a holding on the land of Ballybrack, to be acquired on the Leader estate, and that she was afterwards offered a holding on the Glenville estate by the Estates Commissioners' inspector which she agreed to accept; and what is the cause of the delay in reinstating her?
§ Mr. BIRRELL:The Estates Commissioners inform me that Mrs. Cummins' name has been noted for consideration in the allotment of untenanted land to be acquired by them. The lands of Ballybrack to which the hon. Member refers form portion of the Lysaght estate. Proceedings for the purchase of that estate under the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907, are at present pending, and if the lands are acquired by the Commissioners, Mrs. Cummins' application will be considered in connection therewith.
