HC Deb 25 March 1908 vol 186 cc1426-7
MR. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan, W.)

L bag to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state why the Estates Commissioners have decided not to take any action in the cases of the evicted tenants, Patrick Carolon, William King, and Catherine Carolon, all on the estate of Sir R. Hudson, E. 1313/8, county Cavan; and will he have these cases further investigated, or state in what respects the claims of Jane Bock and Hugh Foreman differed from the three evicted tenants named above.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners fully investigated the claims of the five evicted tenants named in the Question. On the cases of the three first mentioned, they decided, upon full consideration of all the circumstances, to take no action, and they do not intend to have the cases further investigated. In the other two cases they decided to find holdings for the applicants if possible. The Commissioners do not think it desirable to enter into a comparison of the merits of the different cases.
