HC Deb 02 November 1911 vol 30 cc1000-1
Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

asked whether the Estates Commissioners intend to take any steps to provide Denis Cronin, of Ballingarry, county Limerick, with untenanted lands as an equivalent to the farm at Kilmeedy from which his father and family were evicted in 1886 for nonpayment of rent?

Mr. BIRRELL

I have nothing to add to the reply which I gave on 22nd February last to the question on this subject addressed to me by the hon. Member for Mid-Cork.

Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

On what ground will not the Estates Commissioners give this man an equivalent for the farm from which he was evicted?

Mr. BIRRELL

I have often told hon. Members that it is most important in the interests of everyone that the reasons of the Commissioners for not giving a person a particular farm or its equivalent should not be stated.
