HC Deb 26 May 1909 vol 5 cc1190-1
Mr. BOLAND (on behalf of Mr. John Murphy)

asked whether the Estates Commissioners were aware that Mr. Jeremiah Harrington, of Knocknachue, Castle-island, county Kerry, a tenant on the Drummond estate, which was now before them, was about being evicted by the landlord; and whether the Commissioners could take any steps to prevent the eviction?

Mr. CHERRY

The Estates Commissioners inform me that agreements for the sale of this estate were only lodged in September last. It will be dealt with in its order of priority, but its turn will not come for some years. No agreement has been signed by Jeremiah Harrington, who is, therefore, still liable for rent. The Commissioners cannot interfere in any proceedings which the owner may take to collect such rent.
