HC Deb 26 May 1909 vol 5 c1191
Mr. BOLAND (on behalf of Mr. John Murphy)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he could state what purpose took Mr. West, of the Estates Commissioners' Department., on the lands of Upper and Lower Faha, Morrogh Bernard estate, county Kerry, on 20th May; and whether he was met by the evicted tenant and had to procure police protection to carry out his inspection, as the evicted tenant strongly protested against the apparent purpose of the Commissioners to sell 250 acres of untenanted land to a person at present in the Argentine Republic?

Mr. CHERRY

An inspector visited the property on the 20th instant for the purposes of estimating the price of the lands to he repurchased by the vendor under section 3 of the Irish Land Act, 190:3, and as he was interfered with by one of the evicted tenants from the property whose application had been rejected by the Commissioners, he sent for the local sergeant of the police, and proceeded with his inspection without further interference.
