HC Deb 17 December 1908 vol 198 cc2145-6
MR. LUNDON (Limerick, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland is he aware that John Harty and Timothy Burke, both residing near Newpallas, in the County of Limerick, were several years since evicted from their farms on the property of the Erasmus Smith's Schools; is he aware that Lane, the planter on John Harry's farm, sent a friend to Harty requesting an interview, and said he was quite willing to leave the farm on behalf of Harty if he got any fair compensation, and that Griffin, the planter on Burke's farm, is willing to do the same on similar conditions; and will he take steps to arrange with those planters through the Estates Commissioners so as to restore Harty and Burke to their farms.

MR. BIRRELL

The applications of the two men referred to are, with others, now in the hands of one of the Estates Commissioners' inspectors.
