Evicted Tenant (Mrs. O'Shaughnessy, Dromina, County Cork).

HC Deb 20 May 1909 vol 5 cc706-7W

Mr. FLYNN

asked the Chief Secretary whether the Estates Commissioners have taken any action recently in respect of the reinstatement of the evicted tenant, Mrs. O'Shaughnessy, of Dromina, Charleville, county Cork, No. E 30176/1908; and whether, in view of the fact that two inspectors have visited the holding, and that the present holder is willing to accept a holding elsewhere where the Commissioners may acquire land, steps will be taken to expedite the reinstatement of this widow and her family?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners hope that it may be possible for them at an early date to provide the present occupier of Mrs. O'Shaughnessy's former holding with another farm on lands, for the purchase of which they are in negotiation.
