HC Deb 10 July 1907 vol 177 cc1609-10
MR. LUNDON (Limerick, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland can he say whether the Estates Commissioners have received from Mrs. Flynn, widow of Patrick Flynn, an application for reinstatement, or in lieu thereof a farm of equal value † See (4) Debates, clxxii., 998. to the farm held by her husband on the townland of Boytonrath, barony of Middlethird, county Tipperary, from which he was evicted in 1888 by his landlord, Michael Kennedy, of Cahir, county Tipperary; if so, can he state whether an inspector from the Commissioners have interviewed Mrs. Flynn, at present residing in Blair's Cottage, Drombana, near Limerick; will the Estates Commissioners, if they have not done so already, ascertain who holds the farm at present, where does he reside, and on what terms does he hold it; and can he hold forth to Mrs. Flynn any hope of restoration to, or of otherwise being compensated for, her husband's holding.

MR. CHERRY

The Estates Commissioners inform me that Mrs. Flynn's application has not yet been investigated. It was only received on the 15th of last month. The case will be fully inquired into in due course.
