HC Deb 22 February 1905 vol 141 c901
MR. T. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland how many applications from evicted tenants for restoration under the Land Purchase Act, 1903, have been received from county Longford; and whether any steps have been taken, or are being taken, by the Estates Commissioners to acquire grazing lands in that county for the purpose of providing homes for these tenants.

MR. WYNDHAM

Eighty-six, of whom eight were outside the provisions of Section 2 of the Act. Four evicted tenants have been reinstated, and the Commissioners are now making inquiries in respect of the acquisition of untenanted lands in the county.
