HC Deb 25 July 1907 vol 179 c148
MR. J. P. FARRELL (Longford, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the eviction of Miss Alice Connor, of Kilbride, Abbeylara, county Longford, by Mr. John B. O'Reilly, of Carngallen, county Leitrim; whether he is aware that this landlord filed a bill of £8 4S. 6d. on this woman for possession of four acres of bad land; and will he undertake so to amend the Evicted Tenants Bill on Report as to include this poor woman's case.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estate Commissioners have inquired into Miss Alice Connor's application for reinstatement, but have not yet decided what action, if any, can be taken in the case. I have no information as to the second part of the Question. If the Commissioners should decide in favour of Miss Connor's claim, the Bill will of course enable them to deal with the case.
