HC Deb 01 March 1910 vol 14 c826W
Mr. GUINEY

asked what steps have been taken by the Estates Commissioners to reinstate an evicted tenant named Daniel Barry on the Twiss estate, at Newmarket, county Cork, the farm not beings occupied and the landlord and tenant having agreed to terms of purchase, the agreement having been signed and the landlord being anxious for the reinstatement to take place?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners inform me that the owner is willing to sell the holding to the Commissioners at a price which they are willing to advance, but Barry disputes a right of way which an adjoining tenant has over the holding, and until Barry agrees to purchase subject to this existing right of way the Commissioners will not take any further steps with a view to his reinstatement.
