Mr. VINCENT KENNEDY

asked the Chief Secretary the area of land supplied to the county Cavan evicted tenants to 31st December, 1912; how much money has been given to these tenants by way of free grant; and will he state the amount advanced for building which is repayable?

Two thousand and fifty acres have been purchased or agreed to be purchased through the Estates Commissioners under the Irish Land Acts, 1903–9, including the Evicted Tenants Acts, by county Cavan evicted tenants reinstated in their former holdings or provided with new holdings, and the sum sanctioned for buildings and improvements repayable in the land purchase annuities is £3,558, and as free grants for purchase of stock £7,031.
