HC Deb 02 March 1908 vol 185 cc347-8
MR. MOORE

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General for Ireland how many evicted tenants there are in the county of Waterford included in the number of 2,000 fixed by The Evicted Tenants Act, 1907, who have not been provided with holdings.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners inform me that the number of evicted tenants or their representatives not yet provided for in county Waterford, but for whom the Commissioners propose to find holdings if possible, is 131.

MR. MOORE

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General for Ireland if he will state the names of the evicted tenants for whom the Estates Commissioners are attempting to acquire lands compulsorily from Lord Ashtown in the county of Waterford.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have not yet decided what evicted tenant, or tenants; they will put into occupation of this untenanted land, if acquired. It may be the former tenant, William Corrigan, or other evicted tenants.
