HC Deb 26 March 1907 vol 171 c1665
MR. LUNDON (Limerick, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if the Estates Commissioners have instructed or will instruct their inspector to use his best endeavours to arrange between Mr. Smith, owner of the Ballynanty property, near Bruff, or his agent, Mr. White, of Limerick, and Mrs. Hartigan, of Clorane, Croom, county Limerick, so as to give her back her evicted farm in Ballynanty.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have had this case investigated by an inspector. The owner declines to reinstate Mrs. Hartigan, upon the ground that her husband was not evicted, but surrendered his leasehold interest in the farm, and signed a formal deed of surrender. The Commissioners will further consider Mrs. Hartigan's application in connection with the allotment of any untenanted land which they may acquire in the locality. † See (4) Debates, clxx., 53.
