HC Deb 13 May 1908 vol 188 c1157
MR. LARDNER (Monaghan, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have received an application for re-instatement from John Greenan, of Cladowen, an evicted tenant on the Wall Estate, County Monaghan; and, if so, the date on which it was received, and if the Commissioners have considered the application; and has an inspector been sent to visit the holding from which John Greenan was evicted.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners received the application in question on 5th February, 1904, and the case was subsequently investigated by an inspector. The Commissioners upon full consideration of the facts decided to take no action in the case. The farm from which the applicant was evicted is in the occupation of a tenant purchaser.

MR. LARDNER

Was the result of the Commissioners' inquiry communicated to the tenant at the time?

MR. BIRRELL

I will inquire as to that.
