HC Deb 13 February 1913 vol 48 c1207W
Mr. PATRICK WHITE

asked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction that exists in the neighbourhood of Nobber, county Meath, because untenanted land at Drumroe needed in the district for pasturage for the cows of labourers and occupiers of small holdings was given to an ex-policeman from Connaught, who, since he got possession, never lived on the lands nor performed the duties of an occupying tenant, but let them to another tenant; and whether the Estates Commissioners will take steps to regain possession of the holding in order that it may be used for local needs?

Mr. BIRRELL

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to his question on this subject on 13th January, to which I have nothing to add.
