HC Deb 08 August 1905 vol 151 cc626-7
MR. LUNDON

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland is he aware that the Estates Commissioners have bought from the Nevin family their estate in Mount Shannon, county Limerick, for the purpose of quartering evicted tenants thereon; can he say how many acres, I.P.M., is supposed to be in the estate, and how many acres have been already allocated to evicted tenants; and have they, as yet, got any claim or title to their portions; or if not, what has been done with the lands for this season; have any other evicted tenants besides those in county Limerick been designated as the occupants in prospective; and will he expedite proceedings for the relief of the evicted tenants. † See (4) Debates, exlv., 82.

MR. WALTER LONG

The question of the purchase of this estate is under consideration, and of course no allotment of the lands has been made. The owner is in occupation of the lands, which comprise 867 statute acres, or about 535 acres Irish plantation measure.
