§ Mr. HAYDENasked the Chief Secretary if he will state why P. Fallon, of Elphin, county Roscommon, an evicted tenant on the estate of Captain P. M. French, has not been reinstated nor any effort made to provide him with land elsewhere; and whether he will take steps to see that this man's claim is attended to?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners received an application from Patrick Fallon for reinstatement in a holding formerly occupied by him on the estate referred to, but as his application was not received within the period mentioned in; the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907, it cannot be dealt with under that Act.
§ Sir WALTER NUGENTasked the Chief Secretary if he can state whether an application has been made for reinstatement by an evicted tenant named Robert Bailey, who was evicted from the Perry estate, near Ballinagore, county Westmeath?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe reply is in the affirmative, but as Bailey's eviction took place since the passing of the Irish Land Act, 1903, and his application, was not received within the time mentioned in the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907, it cannot be dealt with under the latter Act.
