HC Deb 19 July 1909 vol 8 cc29-30
Mr. JOHN MURPHY

asked if the Estates Commissioners can now state what steps they have taken to settle the claims of outstanding evicted tenants on the Kenmare estate, county Kerry, and what has been the result; and if the Commissioners have taken any steps to acquire any grazing or untenanted land on the estate for the purpose or for the improvement of holdings?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have not yet completed their negotiations for the reinstatement of the outstanding evicted tenants. As I have already informed the hon. Member, in reply to a question asked by him on 19th March last, such portions of the un- tenanted lands on the estate as would be suitable for evicted tenants have been inspected.
