HC Deb 07 August 1912 vol 41 c3162
72. Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

asked the Chief Secretary whether the Estates Commissioners have taken any steps recently to have the evicted tenants on the estate of Lane Joynt, at Aughanish, county Limerick, reinstated in their holdings from which they were evicted over twenty years ago; and whether he thinks that drastic action should be taken to bring about their immediate reinstatement?

Mr. BIRRELL

I am not in a position-to add anything to the replies given to the previous questions asked by the hon. Member on this subject.

Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

Is it not the fact that the Estates Commissioners have taken no action whatever to reinstate him in his holding?

Mr. BIRRELL

They have made full inquiries into the matter. I cannot say more than that.

Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

What were the inquiries?

Mr. BIRRELL

I have answered a great many questions of the hon. Member on this subject. I cannot pursue it further.
