HC Deb 10 December 1908 vol 198 cc768-9
MR. J. MURPHY (Kerry, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state the cause of the delay on the part of the Estates Commissioners in dealing with the case of Mr. Maurice O'Flaherty, of Ballymacadam, Castleisland, County Kerry, an evicted tenant on the Blennerhassett estate.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have inquired into the application of this evicted tenant, but they are not yet in a position to provide him with a holding.

MR J. MURPHY

Will the right hon. Gentleman kindly ask the Estates Commissioners to do something for this man?

MR. BIRRELL

I will ask them to do their very best to secure land.
