It was further recommended in Lord Dunedin's Report that a special tribunal should be set up to investigate these claims and to re- commend to the Government what sums should, in reason and in fairness, be paid in compensation. In accordance with this advice, the Irish Granda Committee was ap- pointed by the Government, under the Chairmanship of Sir Alexan- der-Wood-Binton, and for the past) year it has been hearing and de- ciding these cases, and making re- commendations to the Government.
