§ Mr. O'DONNELLasked the Chief Secretary (1) whether he will state the number of evicted tenants in the Dingle Union whose cases have been inquired into and passed, but who have not yet been provided with land; and whether he proposes to take any steps to hasten the process of reinstatement of those men; and (2) whether he will state the number of applications from evicted tenants under the Evicted Tenants Act, the number inspected, and the number passed as entitled under the Act in the Western Division of county Kerry?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI will answer these two questions together. The statistics of the Estates Commissioners are not kept by unions or by Parliamentary Divisions. I would refer the hon. Member to Table XXVII. of the Appendix to the Report of the Estates Commissioners for the year to 31st March, 1910, which gives particulars of the applications for reinstatement received to that date from evicted tenants in county Kerry, and the manner in which they have been dealt with. The outstanding cases will be proceeded with as rapidly as possible.
