HC Deb 07 August 1911 vol 29 cc925-6W
Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

asked the Chief Secretary if he will give the names of the twelve evicted tenants in the county of Limerick, and their addresses, who have been noted for consideration in the allotment of untenanted land acquired by the Estates Commissioners in the county; and whether he has any idea when these cases will be settled?

Mr. BIRRELL

It is not the practice of the Estates Commissioners to furnish detailed returns giving the names and addresses of persons whose applications for reinstatement as evicted tenants or representatives of evicted tenants have been provisionally noted for consideration in the allotment of untenanted land. Cases so noted are further considered on the allotment of untenanted land acquired by the Commissioners and, if finally approved, are given parcels of land. The Commissioners are not in a position at present to reply to the last paragraph of the question.

Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

asked in what way and when the Estates Commissioners propose to deal with the thirty-four cases of evicted tenants in the county of Limerick who did not make application within the period limited by the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907?

Mr. BIRRELL

These cases will be considered by the Estates Commissioners if and when the estates on which the applicants' former holdings were situated come before the Commissioners as the subject of proceedings for sale under the Land Purchase Acts.
