HC Deb 12 April 1904 vol 133 cc21-2
MR. BOLAND

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the sale of the Mahony Estate, situate at the Gap of Dunloe, is just being concluded, and that there is included in the sale a farm at Coolmagort from which one Florence Doherty was evicted in 1893, and which farm was subsequently rented by another tenant; and, if so, whether, seeing that Doherty laid her case before the Estates Commissioners, pursuant to the Irish Land Act of 1903, he will say if the Estates Commissioners have taken any action in the matter, and if the sale to the subsequent occupier will be now sanctioned without an effort being made to put into effect the beneficial provisions of the Act with regard to evicted tenants.

MR. WYNDHAM

No proceedings for the sale of this estate have yet been brought before the Estates Commissioners. An application for reinstatement has been received on behalf of the representatives of Florence Doherty and will be duly considered.
