HC Deb 02 July 1907 vol 177 cc536-7
MR. HALPIN (Clare, W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will inquire of the Estates Commissioners the reason the four evicted tenants on Mrs. Moroney's property, Miltown Malbay, are not reinstated, notwithstanding that the inspector visited the farms five months ago?

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have received applications for reinstatement from nine persons who state they were evicted from the estate mentioned in the Question. If the hon. Member will give the names of the four persons to whom he refers, the Commissioners will be prepared to say how their applications have been dealt with

MR. MOORE (Armagh, N.)

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware of the anxiety felt by Irish evicted tenants as to whether they are included in the 2,000 to be reinstated, or whether they are among the excluded 6,000? Will he not consider the desirability of publishing the names of the 2,000?

MR. BIRRELL

I will consider that.
