HC Deb 16 May 1905 vol 146 c479
MR. SLOAN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether Mr. John Drury, chairman of the Boyle United Irish League, has been appointed by the Estates Commissioners, at a salary, to distribute the bog lands on the King Harman Estate to the tenants.

MR. WALTER LONG

I am informed by the Commissioners that Mr. Drury has been provisionally appointed secretary to trustees in whom it is proposed to vest certain bogs on this estate. The appointment, however, is one for which the Commissioners are not in any way responsible, and no payment in respect of it will be made from moneys within the control of the Commissioners. † See (4) Debates, exliv., 1028.
