HC Deb 06 July 1910 vol 18 c1632
Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

asked whether the Estates Commissioners had yet acquired the untenanted lands of Liffane, near Askeaton, in the county of Limerick, on the Hewson property; and, if not, what was the reason for the delay in purchasing them?

Mr. REDMOND BARRY

The Estates Commissioners, in view of the provisions of Section 67 of the Irish Land Act, 1909, have published in the "Dublin Gazette" a notice of their intention to acquire these lands, which appear to be held under a fee farm grant, for the purposes of the Evicted Tenants Act, but the owner has filed an objection, which has not yet been heard.

Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when the objection will be heard?

Mr. REDMOND BARRY

I am not in a position to say the exact date.
