§ Mr. O'SHEEasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what is the cause of the delay of the Estates Commissioners in giving their decision with reference to the compulsory acquisition of certain lands in the county of Waterford from Charles Nugent Humble, as to the acquisition of which they held a public sitting in July, 1909?
§ Mr. BIRRELL:The Estates Commissioners have this matter under their consideration. It would not be in the public interest to assign reasons why their decision has not been given.
