HC Deb 01 July 1910 vol 18 c1297W
Mr. LUNDON

asked the Chief Secretary why it is that Mary Kavanagh, of Donoman, Croom, Limerick, is not getting possession of the land recently held by James Cavanagh in connection with the distribution of the untenanted land on the Dickson estate at Bornalicke, in the rural district of Croom; was an understanding come to that James Cavanagh would surrender his old holding to Mary Kavanagh in lieu of his getting a portion of the untenanted land which he is now in possession of; why has the inspector, Mr. O'Byrne, refused to hand over this land to Mrs. Kavanagh as intended originally; will an inquiry be held into the matter to ascertain what has been done in this case; and, having regard to the fact that the local rural district council unanimously passed a Resolution calling on the Commissioners to give up this land immediately to Mary Kavanagh, will he say if the matter will be brought to a speedy solution by complying with the request of the council?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have allotted a parcel of land in Barnalick to James Cavanagh on condition that he surrenders his present holding. The Commissioners' inspector recommends that the latter be given to Mary Kavanagh on payment of £50, which it is proposed to expend on the equipment of the Barnalick holding. The necessary steps are being taken to complete this arrangement, but it cannot be carried into effect for some time.
