HC Deb 20 July 1905 vol 149 c1392
MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether two evicted tenants, William O'Neill and Bryan Sheehy, on the estate of Arthur Blenner-hasset, Tralee, which is being sold, are to be reinstated in their farms; and whether the landlord will be asked to do so before the sale is sanctioned by the Estates Commissioners.

MR. WALTER LONG

The purchase agreements which have recently been lodged in regard to this estate do not include agreements by the evicted tenants named. The claims of any evicted tenants who apply for reinstatement will be considered when the estate is inspected.

MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL

Will the hon. Gentleman undertake the estate shall not be sold until the claims of these tenants have been considered?

MR. WALTER LONG

No, Sir.

MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL

Are their claims to be totally ignored?

MR. WALTER LONG

No, Sir.
