§ MR. JOHN ROCHE (Galway, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the attitude taken by the Irish landlords towards the restoration of the evicted tenants, he would refuse to give further facilities for the disposal of estates at high prices without the immediate reinstatement of the Plan of Campaign evicted tenants, which formed part of the unfulfilled agreement of 1903.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners could not legally refuse to give facilities for the sale of estates upon the 1735 grounds suggested in the Question. Moreover, in the case of all the Plan of Campaign estates except the Clanricarde estate a settlement has been made, or is in process of being made, as regards the reinstatement of evicted tenants.
