HC Deb 30 March 1908 vol 187 c100
MR. FFRENCH (Wexford, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Mrs. Murphy, one of the Boxwell evicted tenants, now living in an uneconomic holding at Rostoonstown, where the dwelling-house and out offices are in a wretched condition, claims the right to be restored to the farm from which she was evicted at Reedstown; whether the Estates Commissioners intend to give her farm to some other evicted tenant; and whether, as Mrs. Murphy is justly entitled to her old home, he will see that she is restored to it.

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

The cases of the evicted tenants on the Box-well estate are at present being investigated by an inspector, and pending the receipt of his report the Estates Commissioners are not in a position to say what action will be taken in any particular case.
