§ Mr. FRANCIS MEEHANasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that the Congested Districts Board have instituted proceedings against Mary Hart, a tenant on the White estate, county Leitrim, to recover possession of her farm for the purpose of redistribution; and whether, having regard to the fact that she, before becoming tenant of the holding, was compelled to pay off all arrears of rent and has since paid rent up to date, she will now be compensated for her interest in the same or be given a farm of equivalent value?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Congested Districts Board have instituted legal proceedings to take up a plot of rough mountain land from Mary Hart for which she has paid the conacre rent up to 1911. She is not entitled to any compensation, but the question of giving her a gratuity will be considered by the Board.
