HC Deb 12 April 1911 vol 24 c590W
Mr. O'DONNELL

asked whether the cases of the following evicted tenants on the Mundy estate, Dingle, county Kerry, Samuel Lovell, Johanna M'Kenna, and John Bowler have been inquired into, and what steps do the Commissioners propose to take regarding them?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have received applications for reinstatement from Samuel Lovell and Johanna McKenna, who state they were evicted from the Townsend estate, and from John Bowler, who states his father was evicted from the Murphy Estate. McKenna's application was received after the date mentioned in the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907, and cannot, therefore, be dealt with under that Act. The eviction of Bowler's father appears to have taken place more than twenty-five years before the passing of the Irish Land Act, 1903, and he does not, therefore, come within Section 2 (1) (d) of that Act, Lovell's name has been provisionally noted for consideration in the allotment of untenanted land acquired by the Commissioners.
