§ Mr. FETHERSTONHAUGHasked whether any, and, if so, how many, evicted tenants in county Fermanagh have been restored to their holdings or provided with new holdings since the passing of the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907; and have the Estates Commissioners acquired any, and, if so, how much, untenanted land in county Fermanagh available for evicted tenants?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that 44 evicted tenants belonging to county Fermanagh have been reinstated or provided with new holdings on estates sold under the Irish Land Act, 1903, since the passing of that Act. Proceedings are pending for the acquisition under the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907, of 316 acres in the county, but no tenants have yet been reinstated under the Act as the lands have not as yet been acquired.
