HC Deb 13 April 1905 vol 145 c80
MR. P. A. MCHUGH

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that congestion of an exceptional character prevails on the Dickson Estate, at Tawley, in the county of Leitrim, and that twenty-seven occupiers of agricultural holdings in Tawley occupy holdings the annual valuations of which are £1 or under; and whether, in view of the tracts of grazing lands adjoining these holdings and of the intention of Parliament in passing the Land Act of 1903, any effort will be made by the Irish Government to have the farms of those tenants enlarged and improved.

MR. ATKINSON

Proceedings in regard to this estate are being taken under the 40th Section of the Act of 1896, and any application in the matter by the parties interested should be addressed to the Land Judge.
