§ Mr. DELANYasked the Chief Secretary whether the Estates Commissioners received an application from Thomas and John Maher, claiming reinstatement as the representatives of their father, who was evicted in 1897 from a holding of 86 Irish acres in the townland of Clonohill, on the De Vesci estate, Abbeyleix, Queen's county, and can he say what steps the Estates Commissioners propose taking in this case?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe holding formerly occupied by Thomas Maher, senior, is in the occupation of another tenant, and Maher's name has been noted for consideration in the allotment of such untenanted land as the Estates Commissioners may acquire.
