HC Deb 30 July 1906 vol 162 cc442-3
MR. DOLAN (Leitrim, W.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, in ordering the sale of the Dickson Estate, situate at Tawley, near Tullaghan, county Leitrim, the Land Judge gave instructions that each tenant should be secured in his right to turbary as heretofore; and will he explain why an attempt is being made to interfere with this right.

(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) I understand that the Dickson Estate is being sold in the Land Judge's Court under the fortieth section of the Land Act of 1896. I am informed by the Registrar of the Court that the learned Judge's order was that a scheme should be prepared applotting turbary to the tenants entitled to it. A scheme has now been prepared as the result of which every tenant will have turbary to last at least twenty-five years. The scheme will come before the Judge next term for confirmation.
