HC Deb 25 May 1905 vol 146 cc1400-1
MR. CREAN (Cork, S.E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that arrangements have been made for the sale to the tenants of Mrs. Rose Trant Stanton's Estate, Ballyfeard, Kinsale, county Cork; will he say whether the evicted farms at present in possession of labourers are included in the sale; and, if so, what inquiries have been made by the Estates Commissioners for the purpose of enabling the evicted tenants to avail themselves o the clauses of the Land Act to regain possession of their holdings.

MR. WALTER LONG

An application for sale has been lodged, but the property has not yet been declared an estate, and consequently the case has not yet been referred for inspection and inquiry. Applications have been received from persons who state that they are evicted tenants from the estate, and due inquiries will be made.
