HC Deb 20 May 1909 vol 5 c707W
Mr. WILLIAM REDMOND

asked the Chief Secretary if he will say why Thomas Cullinan, Ballygriffy, Ennis, was not reinstated into the farm at Deerpark, Dangan, Quin, county Clare?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners inform me that they instituted proceedings under the Evicted Tenants Act with a view to the compulsory acquisition of the lands, but on consideration of the objections filed by the owner they decided that the lands could not be acquired compulsorily under the Act. Cullinan's name has been noted by the Commissioners for consideration in the allotment of untenanted land.
