HC Deb 17 May 1915 vol 71 cc1990-1W
Mr. FLAVIN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he can state how soon M. Driscoll, an evicted tenant on the John White Leahy estate, at Ballinclemsig, North Kerry, will be reinstated in his holding, as the case is very urgent?

Mr. BIRRELL

I am informed that the Estates Commissioners have considered Driscoll's application, but that they have refused to sanction any expenditure in connection with his reinstatement in that portion of his mother's former holding on the John White Leahy estate in which he seeks to be placed. The estate, however, has been acquired by the Congested Districts Board, who have been asked to consider whether Driscoll could be provided with a more suitable holding on some other portion of the estate or on any neighbouring lands.

Mr. FLAVIN

asked the Chief Secretary why the three evicted tenants, including the widow Glazier, on the Palmer estate, at Banemore, North Kerry, have not been dealt with as evicted tenants?

Mr. BIRRELL

Applications for reinstatement in their former holdings on the estate referred to have been received from four persons, including Mrs. M. Glazier, and are at present under the consideration of the Commissioners.
