HC Deb 21 November 1906 vol 165 c830
MR. FLAVIN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have power to deal, as a separate estate, with untenanted lands on a tenanted estate for the purpose of facilitating the immediate reinstatement of evicted tenants and the relief of congestion.

MR. BRYCE

The Estates Commissioners consider that they have power to deal in the manner suggested in the Question with untenanted lands which form part of a tenanted estate, and it is their practice to do so as occasion offers.
