HC Deb 26 March 1907 vol 171 c1666
MR. LUNDON

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, can he say whether the Estates Commissioners, through their inspector or by private correspondence, have as yet been able to induce Mr. Courtnay Croker, landlord, or Mr. John Barrington, agent, of the Moohan property near Herbertstown, county Limerick, to get Timothy Kirby, planter on the farm of Mr. Michael Power, to leave the farm on some consideration and hand it back to the owner before the vesting order will have been issued to all the other tenants.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have not yet been able to effect any arrangement in the case referred to, but will direct their inspector when visiting the estate to ascertain from Kirby the terms, if any, upon which he would be prepared to surrender the holding.
