HC Deb 26 July 1909 vol 8 cc984-5W
Mr. LUNDON

asked the Chief Secretary where and how soon may Timothy Burke, of Kilduff, Pallasgrean, county Limerick, expect a farm as an equivalent to the one he was evicted from 26 years ago because of his loyalty to his brother tenants who were engaged in a struggle for a reduction of their rents at the time; and, in view of the fact that this man has, since his eviction, lived in a cabin on the roadside with a delicate wife and family, will the Estates Commissioners take immediate steps to provide him with a suitable home?

Mr. BIRRELL

Burke's application has been noted by the Estates Commissioners for consideration in the allotment of untenanted land. His former holding is in the occupation of another tenant.
