HC Deb 20 March 1905 vol 143 c471
MR. CLANCY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in disposing of the Butler Estate, in the county of Dublin, due consideration will be given to the claims of the small tenants on adjoining estates for an enlargement of their holdings, and of evicted tenants in that county.

MR. WALTER LONG

This estate was purchased by the Estates Commissioners under Section 7 of the Irish Land Act, 1903, for the purpose of reinstating evicted tenants, and the lands have, accordingly, been distributed amongst three evicted tenants.
