The date on which a tribunal will deal with an application referred to it under Emergency Powers (No. 260) Order, 1943, is a matter for the tribunal. The application referred to in the Question will be heard at Wexford on to-morrow, the 17th instant. Certain delays which occurred in this case are attributable mainly to necessary readjustment of arrangements for meetings of tribunals in consequence of changes in the appointment of chairmen.
