HC Deb 01 July 1909 vol 7 cc581-2
Sir WALTER NUGENT

asked what is the cause of the delay in reinstating the evicted tenants on the Mearscourt estate, near Moyvare, county Westmeath, the Estates Commissioners having long ago approved of their claims and given public notice of the compulsory acquisition of land for the purpose of reinstating them?

Mr. BIRRELL

Proceedings have been instituted by the Estates Commissioners for the acquisition of 272 acres on this estate under the Evicted Tenants Act. The Commissioners expect to be in a position to acquire possession at an early date.
