HC Deb 22 July 1908 vol 193 c95
MR. FLYNN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have taken any action recently with a view to acquiring the untenanted land on the Fuge estate, Templemary, County Cork; and whether, having regard to the fact that six tenants evicted from the estate are eligible for reinstatement under the Act of 1907, and that the greater part of the land is now used as a rough grazing ranch, the Commissioners will take immediate steps to acquire it.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOE IRELAND (Mr. BIRRELL,) Bristol, N.

The Estates Commissioners are about to take steps for the compulsory acquirement, under the Evicted Tenants Act, of some 536 acres of land on the estate in question.
