HC Deb 15 July 1909 vol 7 c2289
Mr. CREAN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that the Estates Commissioners have refused the claims of James Hayes and John Crowley to be reinstated as evicted tenants; whether satisfactory proof has been given that they were evicted from their holdings on the Stawell estate, Kilbrittain, county Cork; and, if so, whether their cases will foe reconsidered with the object of granting them other holdings or compensation if land cannot be provided for them?

Mr. CHERRY

The Estates Commissioners have decided after inquiry to take no action in these cases, and they are not prepared to depart from such decision.

Mr. CREAN

Is there any reason for it? Are they not genuine evicted tenants?

Mr. CHERRY

No reasons have been given.
