HC Deb 05 April 1909 vol 3 cc886-7W
Mr. O'SHEE

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he will explain the delay in reinstating Denis Conway, an evicted tenant in the county of Waterford; whether a defect in the title of the new tenant who has agreed to accept compensation can effect the title to his former holding in which it is proposed to reinstate Mr. Conway; and, if not, whether he will be forthwith put into possession?

Mr. BIRRELL

The matter is engaging the attention of the Estates Commissioners, who hope to be able to effect the reinstatement of the evicted tenant at an early date. I cannot discuss the question of law raised in the latter part of the question.
