§ Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSYasked the Chief Secretary if he can say whether the Estates Commissioners are aware that the agent on the Carleton estate, situate at Rockhill, Bruree, in the county of Limerick, called on the evicted tenant John O'Neill, in last November, to sign the purchase agreement for his evicted farm there, which he did about the same time that the tenants on the estate were signing agreements to purchase their holdings; and, having regard to this fact, if he can say why it is that the Commissioners have not taken steps to reinstate this evicted tenant; and what interest has the person in occupation of the holding in it?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that the purchase agreement lodged by the vendor is not signed by John O'Neill, but by the present occupant of the holding, who is the tenant thereof. As I have already informed the hon. Member in reply to the question asked by him on 30th June last the case will be considered in the allotment of untenanted land.
