HC Deb 10 July 1902 vol 110 c1379
MR. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether his attention has been called to the fair rent fixed on the holding of Mr. William O'Connell by the County Court Judge of Kerry on the 1st instant, at the old rent of £40, while the poor law valuation was £32; and whether he can take any steps to obtain a revision of this decision.

MR. WYNDHAM

The reply to this Question is obviously in the negative.

MR. FLAVIN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the evidence showed that this tenant had spent £500 on improvements and the landlord nothing at all?

*MR. SPEAKER

Order, order!

MR. FLAVIN

This is a very serious matter, and I will take the first opportunity to call attention to it.
