HC Deb 08 July 1909 vol 7 c1402
Mr. JOHN PHILLIPS

asked when might the evicted tenants Farrell and Heslan, of the King-Harman-Stafford estate, Lisnanagh, county Longford, hope to be reinstated; and what was the reason that they had not been reinstated before this time, as their farms were not of any benefit to the landlord?

Mr. BIRRELL

These lands are comprised in that portion of this estate which is the subject of proceedings in the Court of the Master of the Rolls, and the Estates Commissioners are in negotiation for their purchase. Until they acquire the lands they have no power to reinstate the former tenants.
