HC Deb 06 April 1911 vol 23 c2414
Mr. O'DONNELL

asked what is the cause of the delay in reinstating Mr. Maurice Barry, Lougher, Annascawl, county Kerry, evicted tenant on the Ventry estate?

Mr. BIRRELL

When the estate referred to is vested by the Congested Districts Board they will consider the claims of the representatives of Mr. Maurice Barry for reinstatement.

Mr. O'DONNELL

Am I to understand that this evicted tenant is not to be reinstated until the estate is vested?

Mr. BIRRELL

Until the estate is vested it will be impossible to reinstate him.

Mr. O'DONNELL

Is it not the fact that it is the Estates Commissioners and not the Congested Districts Board who have to deal with the reinstatement of evicted tenants, and will he ask them to deal with this?

Mr. BIRRELL

I will ask them to, but they can only do it by arrangement with the purchaser.
