§ Mr. BOLANDasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he has now made further inquiries into the claim put forward by Mr. Timothy Mangan, Glencuthane, Beaufort, in respect of the flooding to which his holding has been subjected; and whether, in view of the proofs submitted by Mr. Mangan that the possibility of flooding was not taken into account when the rent was fixed, he will state what steps would be taken in the matter?
§ Mr. DUKEI have brought under the notice of the Estates Commissioners the 753W papers which I have received from the hon. Member, and the Commissioners will, when dealing with this estate in its order of priority, consider the question of the liability of this holding to flooding. Meanwhile, the matter is one for the owner and the tenant—the parties concerned.
