HC Deb 31 July 1905 vol 150 cc944-5
MR. EDWARD BARRY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in the event of the completion of negotiations for sale between landlord and tenants in the townland of Tullincasky, Clonakilty, steps will be taken to reinstate an evicted tenant, Mrs. O'Brien, on the farm at present in occupation of Arthur Deane, J. P.

MR. WALTER LONG

Mrs. O'Brien's application for reinstatement has been received, and will be considered in the event of the estate concerned coming before the Commissioners.

MR. EDWARD BARRY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have been communicated with regarding the reinstatement of the representatives of Mrs. O'Driscoll, evicted tenants, to the farm in Ardfield, Clonakilty, in occupation of Arthur Deane, J.P.; on what grounds is Deane refusing to vacate the farm; and what steps will be taken to restore the representatives of the evicted tenants to the farm.

MR. WALTER LONG

No proceedings for the sale of the estate concerned have come before the Commissioners. It is not possible to identify any application which they may have received from the evicted tenant's representatives unless the names of the latter be given. If the hon. Member will communicate this information to me further inquiry will be made.
