§ Captain REDMONDasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what assistance, if any, it is proposed to grant to ex-soldiers who before enlistment were, and after demobilisation will again be, small farmers in Ireland; and whether he is aware that in most of these cases the farms have been lying derelict, and that financial assistance will be required to enable them to be worked?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI will consider sympathetically any cases of this nature which may be brought to my notice.
