§ Mr. GUINEYasked how many evicted tenants, whose claims have been considered bonâ fide by the Estates Commissioners in county Cork, are yet unprovided with holdings; and how many have been provided with holdings during the six months ended 30th June last in county Cork?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform mo that there are at present seventy-seven persons in county Cork whose applications as evicted tenants have been noted for consideration in the allotment of untenanted land acquired by the Commissioners, and who have not yet been provided with holdings. Thirty-two evicted tenants in that county have been reinstated in their former or provided with other holdings during the six months ended 30th June.
§ Mr. GUINEYasked whether the Estates Commissioners have received an application for reinstatement from Terence Mahony or O'Mahoney, who was evicted from a holding at Ardglass, Charlevelle, county Cork, on the John R. Daly estate; and, if so, what decision have the Commissioners arrived at?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners received an application in February last from Terence O'Mahony for reinstatement in a holding formerly occupied by his father, and now in the occupation of another tenant. As his application was not received within the period limited by the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907, it cannot be dealt with under that Act.
