HC Deb 20 June 1904 vol 136 cc496-7
MR. ROCHE

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been directed to the case of several tenant purchasers under Acts previous to 1903 in the neighbourhood of the Comyn Kenny Estate, county Galway, which has been purchased recently by the Congested Districts Board; and, if so, will he take steps to enable these tenant purchasers to have their uneconomic holdings increased without requiring them to resell their purchased holdings to the Congested Districts Board, so that the whole of the increased holding should be security.

MR. WYNDHAM

The point raised in I this Question cannot be answered without a fuller knowledge of the facts than are at present before me. I am making further inquiry in the matter. Of course, when the Congested Districts Board acquires the estate referred to, it will consider the question of the enlargement of uneconomic holdings.
