HC Deb 22 April 1913 vol 52 cc240-1
88. Mr. FRANCIS MEEHAN

asked whether he will state how much money has been distributed by the Estates Commissioners on the tenants on the Tottenham estate, county Leitrim; how many tenants have been assisted; how many are on the list for future assistance; and how much money is still available for the assistance of evicted poor tenants?

Mr. BIRRELL

In connection with the improvement of this estate, which has been purchased by the Estates Commissioners, an expenditure of some £5,500 is proposed which is to be by way of Grant. It is proposed that over 200 tenants will benefit in the expenditure of the money, of which over £3,000 has been expended. The balance of the money will not be expended until a scheme for the allotment of the turbary, on the preparation of which the inspector is at present employed, has been approved.
