§ Mr. BOLANDasked the Chief Secretary if he can state what action the Estates Commissioners propose to take on the application by Mr. Timothy Mangan, Glencuthane, on the Drummond estate, for an inspection of his holding; whether he is aware that, in accordance with the direction of the Estates Commissioners, the applicant brought the matter before the vendor's agent on 8th December, 1910; and can he state what action was then taken by the Estates Commissioners?
§ Mr. BIRRELLMr. Timothy Mangan was informed by the Estates Commissioner" that when the estate on which his holding is situate was being inspected in order of priority his application would be considered, and that, meanwhile, he should bring the matter under the notice of the owner's agent. The Commissioners cannot say what action, if any, they will take until the estate has been inspected. If the tenant considers his rights are being interfered with, it is open to him to take such legal steps to protect his interests as he may be advised.
