HC Deb 23 February 1911 vol 21 cc2207-8W
Mr. PATRICK WHITE

asked what action the Estates Commissioners have taken to acquire an equivalent holding for Mr. Hopkins, Nobber, county Meath, whose claim as an evicted tenant has been admitted?

Mr. BIRRELL

Mr. Hopkins' application has been noted for consideration in the allotment of such untenanted land as the Estates Commissioners may acquire. They are not at present in a position to allot him a holding.

Mr. PATRICK WHITE

asked the Chief Secretary whether the Estates Commissioners have acquired any untenanted land in county Meath; and, if so, whether they will satisfy the claim of Mrs. Norah Kieran, Leggah House, Navan, for an equivalent holding to that from which she was evicted?

Mr. BIRRELL

The untenanted land purchased and in course of purchase in County Meath is shown in Table XXVIII. of the Appendix to the Report of the Estates Commissioners for the year to 31st March last. The Commissioners have received an application from Miss Norah Kieran for reinstatement in a holding on the estate of Lord Howth, formerly occupied by her and now in the occupation of another tenant. Her name has been provisionally noted for consideration in the allotment of any untenanted land, but the Commissioners are not at present in a position to say when it may be possible to provide her with a holding.
