§ Mr. VINCENT KENNEDYasked the Chief Secretary whether he will state the number of evicted tenants in the county of Cavan whose cases have been inquired into and passed, but who have not yet been provided with land; and whether he 2146W proposes to take any steps to hasten the process of reinstatement?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThere are twenty-four evicted tenants in county Cavan whose names have been noted for consideration in the allotment of untenanted land acquired by the Estates Commissioners, but who have not yet been provided with holdings. The Commissioners are at present in negotiation for certain untenanted lands in the county, and it may be possible to consider the applications of some of these tenants in connection with these lands.
