HC Deb 10 December 1908 vol 198 c768
MR JOHN ROCHE

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that seven or eight evicted farms upon the Clanricarde estate were held by a man named Flower; whether he has any official information showing that Flower left over two years ago without paying rent due, and that the lands have since been derelict; and will he say what steps, if any, the Commissioners have taken to acquire those lands under the Evicted Tenants Act.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners inform me that the facts appear to be as stated. The Commissioners have notified their intention of acquiring these lands with others under the Evicted Tenants Act.
