§ Mr. FRANCIS MEEHANasked whether the Estates Commissioners would, in the cases of evicted tenants who had been reinstated under the provisions of the Evicted Tenants Act of 1907 and had no means of subsistence, give a temporary grant to enable them to keep their homes until the estates on which they live were being dealt with in order of priority?
§ The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)The Estates Commissioners make grants to evicted tenants reinstated under the provisions of the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907, for the purchase of stock or erection of buildings and other purposes in all cases where they consider it, desirable to do so, but save for these purposes they have no power of making grants.
