HC Deb 01 May 1911 vol 25 cc170-1W
Mr. LYNCH

asked the Chief Secretary whether he will take into favourable consideration the claim to reinstatement of Daniel Neylon, Kilfenora, West Clare, who was a tenant on the Stratford estate, West Clare, and was evicted about nineteen years ago, and who received a promise over two years ago from one of the Estates Commissioners' inspectors that he would get a holding when there was a suitable place available?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners received an application from Daniel Neylon for reinstatement in a holding formerly occupied by him on the estate of the late Colonel Stratford, and his name has been noted for consideration in the allotment of such untenanted land as the Commissioners may be able to acquire in the neighbourhood.

Mr. HACKETT

asked the Chief Secretary whether he can state when Thomas Tracy, Dromard, and Patrick Everard, Graffin, will be reinstated in their former holdings on the estate of Surgeon-General Roe, Loran Park, Roscrea; and whether he can state the amount of grant to each in order to assist them to work their farms?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners are acquiring under the provisions of the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907, some fifteen acres of the lands of Skehanagh, and six acres of the lands of Graffin, on the estate of Surgeon-General Roe, formerly in the occupation of Thomas Tracy and Patrick Everard respectively, and hope to be shortly in a position to put Tracy and Everard in possession of their holdings. The Commissioners have sanctioned free grants of £7 for fencing and £70 for the purchase of stock to Tracy, and £3 for fencing and £20 for purchase of stock to Everard.
