HC Deb 08 August 1905 vol 151 cc593-4
MR. J. P. FARRELL (Longford, N.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that on the sale of the Granard (county Longford) Estate the various tenants were allotted turbary, which was conveyed in most cases by endorsement on the back of their agreements or vesting orders; and that in the case of Thomas Whitney a portion of bog was so reserved and marked on Derawley Bog No. 2; and will he cause inquiry to be made as to why Whitney was deprived, and is yet deprived, of this turbary.

(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) The facts are substantially as stated in the first and second inquiries. The Land Commission have no information as to the third inquiry, but if it be the fact that Whitney has been deprived of turbary to which he is entitled, his remedy is against those who have so deprived him. The matter is not one in which the Land Commission can intervene.
