HC Deb 30 August 1909 vol 10 c20
Mr. JOHN MURPHY

asked whether the Estates Commissioners sent an inspector to the lands of Mr. Richard J. Walsh, on the estate of Mr. Pierce Gun Mahony, at Cordal, county Kerry, immediately before the recent eviction of Mr. Walsh; whether the inspector made a valuation of the lands; whether the same was communicated to and refused by the landlord; and whether such valuation showed that the price demanded by Mr. Pierce Gun Mahony was excessive?

Mr. CHERRY

I have nothing to add to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary for Ireland to a question on the same subject asked by the hon. Member on 21st June last.

Mr. MURPHY

I never asked a question of this kind before. I want to know whether it is not a fact that the Estates Commissioners' valuer went over this land and declared the rent asked by Mr. Mahony to be excessive? That is a very simple question.

Mr. CHERRY

I think the hon. Member is mistaken. I believe he put a similar question down on 21st June.
