HC Deb 25 July 1910 vol 19 cc1901-2W
Mr. HACKETT

asked whether the Estates Commissioners have received an application from Michael English, Carhue, Dundrum, county Tipperary, for a holding on the Scully estate, near Dundrum; and whether the Estates Commissioners have decided to give him a holding on the above estate?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have received a letter from Michael English inquiring as to the purchase and division of the Scully estate, county Tipperary. The Commissioners instituted proceedings for the compulsory acquisition of these lands under the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907. The owner lodged objections under Section 2 of the Act, and the Commissioners have decided to discontinue the proceedings.

Mr. HACKETT

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that William Dwyer was evicted from a farm of 100 acres on the Montalt estate at Dundrum in the year 1885, and that his widow, Mrs. Bridget Dwyer's, claim for reinstatement at the time of the division of Dundrum estate was passed over; and whether the Estates Commissioners will consider her claim with a view to provide her with a holding immediately?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have received an application from Bridget Dwyer for reinstatement in a holding formerly occupied by her late husband, and now in the possession of her son. The application was not lodged before 1st May, 1907, and cannot, therefore, be dealt with under the Evicted Tenants Act.
