HC Deb 21 February 1906 vol 152 c348
MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state the present position as regards sale to the tenants and settlement of the evicted tenants of the Cusack, county Longford, Estate; whether any report has been received from the inspector as to the amount of untenanted land on this property; and when those evicted tenants whose claims have been sent in to the Estates Commissioners may expect a definite statement as to their chances of reinstatement.

MR. BRYCE

The report of the inspector in this case has been received and is under consideration by the Estates Commissioners. The claims of all evicted tenants who have lodged applications for reinstatement will be duly inquired into, and the Commissioners will consider whether untenanted land can be made available for them.

MR. FARRELL

Can we have the Report, or is it a privileged document?

MR. BRYCE

My impression is that these Reports are made solely for the information of the Commissioners and do not go outside the office.
