HC Deb 23 May 1906 vol 157 cc1289-90
MR. LUNDON

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland how do matters now stand in regard to the levers Estate, in Mount Jevers, county Limerick; and whether there is a likelihood of a farm on it being given to William levers, brother of the owner, in lieu of the farm in Ballinacurra, from which he has been for some years evicted.

MR. BRYCE

I am informed that the Estates Commissioners have for tome time past been in negotiation for the purchase of this estate, which is for sale in the Land Judges Court. The negotialions have not yet been concluded. The Commissioners have received an application for reinstatement as an evicted tenant from Mr. William levers, and it appears from a report which the Commissioners have obtained from their inspector that Mr. Ievers wishes to be reinstated in his former holding, which is not upon the estate for sale in the Land Judges Court.

MR. LUNDON

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that Mr. Ievers' application has been unsuccessful?

MR. BRYCE

I have not the facts before me.
