HC Deb 21 September 1909 vol 11 c225
Mr. THOMAS F. SMYTH

asked what are the terms offered to the evicted tenants at Lisgillock Glebe, on the Marsham estate, county Leitrim, with a view to their reinstatement; whether the annuities in future to be paid by the tenants are so high that the tenants are unable to accept such terms; and whether the amount of the promised grants have been reduced from what was agreed on at first?

Mr. CHERRY

With the consent of the owner the Estates Commissioners had a preliminary inspection made of the lands in question, but the majority of the former tenants have refused to purchase at the prices fixed by the Commissioners. The Commissioners have decided to make no grants to any of the former tenants save one. They are all in occupation of other holdings in the neighbourhood.
