HC Deb 02 April 1903 vol 120 c919
MR. BOLAND

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, at an inquiry held in Kenmare in March, 1902, the erection of a cottage on a portion of the Warden Estate at Sneem was opposed by the landlords, although the bailiff admitted at the inquiry that a threat had been made to evict John O'Neill if he gave shelter to his brother, Patrick O'Neill, who had been previously evicted; and whether, seeing that Robert O'Sullivan, of Sneem, was evicted for having given shelter to Patrick O'Neill, who was willing to pay rent for a house in the village, and Patrick O'Neill was evicted on 26th March, and in view of the proposals in the Irish Land Bill, he can take steps to secure the reinstatement of this man.

MR. WYNDHAM

The bailiff did not, I am informed, make the admission mentioned in the Question. The proposals dealing with the reinstatement of evicted tenants are contained in Section 2 (d) of the Bill.
