HC Deb 12 November 1908 vol 196 cc558-9
MR. WILLIAM ABRAHAM

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state whether the Estates Commissioners have under consideration the application of Mrs. Alice Nagle for reinstatement in her old holding at Ballinahallisk, on the Leader estate, County Cork; and whether, seeing that the present occupier of her farm, Thomas Nagle, only took possession in 1902, and is not a judicial tenant, the Commissioners will favourably entertain Mrs. Nagle's claim when the sale and purchase of the estate as a whole comes before them.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners inform me that Mrs. Nagle's application has been received and will be considered when the Commissioners are dealing with the Leader estate under the Irish Land Act, 1903.
