HC Deb 15 March 1907 vol 171 cc342-3
Mr. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan, W.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, if he will state whether the estate of Joseph Bennet, Little Bawnboy, county Cavan, known as Lisanoner Ranch, has yet been dealt with by the Estates Commissioners; and how many evicted tenants is it proposed to put upon this untenanted land.

(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Land Judge has notified to the Estates Commissioners that he is prepared to accept the price which they provisionally offered for this property, and the Commissioners have accordingly prepared a scheme for the re-sale of the estate in fourteen parcels, nine of which are for evicted tenants. This scheme has been referred to an inspector with the object of obtaining from the selected persons undertakings for purchase.
