HC Deb 30 August 1909 vol 10 cc22-3
Mr. SHEEHAN

asked the Chief Secretary whether the Estates Commissioners received in February, 1904, a statement of claim from an evicted tenant named John Shea, formerly of Carrigculteen, Mill-street, county Cork, and now of Brockton, Mass., U.S.A.; were the circumstances under which this eviction took place investigated by the Commissioners, and was it found to be due to the non-payment of rent of £60 a year; and, if the claimant returns to Ireland to prosecute his claim, will his evidence be taken by an inspector of the Land Commission before any final decision be come to in his case?

Mr. CHERRY

The Estates Commissioners have inquired into and considered the application of Catherine Shea for reinstatement in a holding formerly occupied by her husband, and have decided to take no action in the case.
