HC Deb 02 April 1908 vol 187 c658
MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he can say who is the person in occupation of the holding from which the Dunworth family was evicted at Garryfine, Bruree, in the county of Limerick; what is the date and nature of the alleged tenancy; and have the Estates Commissioners made any inquiry as to whether the alleged tenant is willing to give up the place to the Dunworth's, and, if so, with what result.

(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners understand that the farm formerly held by the Dunworth family is now in the possession of Messrs R. and C. Saunders. The Commissioners consider Robert and Jeremiah Dunworth to be suitable persons to receive holdings if such can be provided for them. The file of papers referring to the case is at present in the hands of an inspector for the purposes of an inquiry, and the Commissioners are therefore unable to give the other details asked for in the Question.
