HC Deb 29 June 1909 vol 7 c230
Mr. JOHN MURPHY

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have yet completed their negotiations as to the reinstatement of evicted tenants on the Kenmare estate, county Kerry; and, if so, what has been the result?

Mr. BIRRELL

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. JOHN MURPHY

Having regard to the fact that six inspectors have gone down to the estate and that the proceedings have been going on already for eighteen months, can the right hon. Gentleman say when the negotiations will be completed?

Mr. BIRRELL

I will communicate with the Estates Commissioners, but I am not in a position at present to say when the negotiations will be completed.
