HC Deb 23 June 1904 vol 136 cc1005-6
MR. BOLAND

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a fine of £100 has been paid by ex-Head Constable O'Sullivan for the farm on the Warden Estate, Sneem, county Kerry, from which Mrs. Currane was evicted; and whether, in view of the fact that the evicted tenant had previously lodged her application for reinstatement with the Estates Commissioners and has now returned from America in the expectation of being reinstated, steps will be taken to procure her reinstatement.

MR. WYNDHAM

I am unable to say whether the facts are as stated in the first part of the Question. I have already said that an application for reinstatement has been received in this case and will be considered in due course by the Estates Commissioners.

MR. BOLAND

Has the right hon. Gentleman directed an inquiry of the landlords?

MR. WYNDHAM

I have stated that the case will be considered. It is not my business to address inquiries to landlords.

MR. BOLAND

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this is a case of land grabbing on the part of a police constable?
