§ Mr. KENDAL O'BRIENasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if an application has been received by the Estates Commissioners from Daniel Hackett, evicted tenant, who in 1884 was evicted from a farm at Derryvilla, New Birmingham, county Tipperary; and, if so, have any steps been taken to provide him with an equivalent?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have received an application from Daniel Hackett for reinstatement to a holding on the estate of Colonel White, now in the occupation of a tenant purchaser, and have decided to take no action in the matter.
§ Mr. KENDAL O'BRIENasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that an evicted tenant named Francis Moore, from the Cambie estate, Killoran, Moyne, county Tipperary, applied to the Estates Commissioners some years ago for reinstatement; that several evicted tenants in the locality who applied at the same time have since been provided for; and, seeing that this man and his family are in bad circumstances, will his reinstatement be effected with the least possible delay?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have been in communication with the owners with reference to the reinstatement of Francis Moore, and have furnished them with their estimated price for the farm in question. The agent has informed the Commissioners that the owners are about to institute proceedings for sale of the holding to the Commissioners.
