HC Deb 13 March 1911 vol 22 c2007W
Mr. O'SULLIVAN

asked the Chief Secretary whether, as the agent of the Stokes estate, Ballymallis, county Kerry, refuses to sell to the tenants under the Act of 1909 except they take worse terms than they refused under the Act of 1903, and as considerable uneasiness exists amongst those tenants, being practically the only tenants in the district who have not purchased their holdings, steps will be taken to put the compulsory clauses of the 1909 Act into operation in this case?

Mr. BIRRELL

Agreements for the purchase by the tenants under the Irish Land Act, 1903, of their holdings on the lands referred to were lodged with the Land Commission in December, 1906. As far as the Estates Commissioners are aware all the tenants have signed agreements.
