HC Deb 06 July 1914 vol 64 cc835-6
90. Mr. PATRICK MEEHAN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland why Patrick Jacob, Mary Anne Kennedy, and the representatives of John Hogan, all evicted tenants on the De Vesci estate, Abbeyleix, Queen's County, have not been provided with holdings; and what steps the Estates Commissioners propose taking with respect to their applications?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners inquired into the applications of Patrick Jacob and Mary Anne Kennedy for reinstatement in holdings on this estate, and decided in the exercise of the discretion vested in them not to take any action in these cases. The Commissioners have not received an application for reinstatement in the name of "The representatives of John Hogan," but they decided not to take any action in the case of a Thomas Hogan who applied for reinstatement in a holding in the townland of Knockmoe, on this estate, formerly occupied by him, and now in the possession of another tenant.
