HC Deb 20 October 1909 vol 12 c430W
Mr. WILLIAM ABRAHAM

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he will ascertain from the Estates Commissioners the result of the communications they have had with the Duke of Devonshire or his agent regarding the reinstatement of Mr. John Mulcahy in his former holding on the Devonshire estate, Conna, county Cork, having regard to the fact that the holding in question is untenanted, and that the Commissioners consider Mr. John Mulcahy a suitable person to work the holding?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners and the owner were unable to agree as to the price of the holding in question. Proceedings have been instituted by the Commissioners, and are now pending, for its acquisition under the Evicted Tenants Act.
