HC Deb 23 May 1906 vol 157 cc1258-9
MR. CONDON (Tipperary, E.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether in the case of the estate of P. Lindsay, county Tipperary, the Estates Commissioners have decided to ignore the claim of Mrs. Cantwell Clonwalsh, an evicted tenant, to be reinstated in her former holding, though the same is in the possession of the vendor of the estate; if not, whether they will take immediate steps to secure her restoration.

Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Estates Commissioners inform me that they have approached the owner of the estate referred to in connection with the applications of Mrs. Cantwell and three other evicted tenants, but the owner is not prepared to part with the lands in question. The question of providing the evicted tenants with other holdings will be considered by the Commissioners if they should acquire untenanted land in the neighbourhood.
