HC Deb 29 May 1905 vol 147 cc93-4
MR. FFRENCH (Wexford, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have received an application for the restoration of Mrs. White, evicted tenant on the Boyce Estate, Bannow; and, if so, what progress has been made in giving back to the tenant her old home.

MR. WALTER LONG

Yes, Sir; but no proceedings for the sale of the estate have yet been instituted before the Commissioners. The application will be inquired into should the estate come before them.

MR. FFRENCH

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is a planter on this holding and that at the time of the eviction there was some £1,500 or £1,600 worth of property on it belonging to the tenant? Has anything been done to recover it for the tenant.?

MR. WALTER LONG

I imagine that is one of the matters that will be inquired into.
