HC Deb 15 May 1905 vol 146 cc269-70
MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, in reference to the application of John O'Driscoll to the Estates Commissioners for reinstatement in the evicted farm at Coolclogher, Hegarty Estate, near Millstreet, county Cork, whether, in view of the denial by † See (4) Debates, cxxxii., 606.

Mr. O'Driscoll

of the landlord's statement as to his status as an evicted tenant, and also to the fact that the holding is untenanted, the Commissioners will direct an inspector to examine into all the circumstances of the case and give the evicted tenant's representative an opportunity of explaining his claims under the provisions of the Land Act of 1903.

(Answered by Mr. Walter Long,) I beg to refer the hon. Member to the replies which I gave to his Questions of 4th† and 13th§ April last. The owner of this estate has not expressed any desire to sell it, and the Commissioners, therefore, do not propose to direct any inquiry into the matter.
