HC Deb 30 September 1915 vol 74 c1023W
Mr. J. P. FARRELL

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he can hold out any hope that Patrick Brady, of Aghna-garron, county Longford, whose uncle was evicted from a farm of land on the White estate, will be provided with an equivalent holding, seeing that the other evicted tenants on this property have been provided with holdings under the Evicted Tenants Act?

Mr. BIRRELL

I am informed by the Estates Commissioners that when the White estate was sold to the tenants under the Irish Land Act, 1903, a holding of some seven acres, in the townland of Aghna-garron, was vested in Patrick Briody (Brady). In June, 1907, Briody lodged an application for reinstatement in lands in Aghnagarron which formed part of a holding from which he stated he had been evicted in 1883, but as the application was not lodged within the time specified under the Evicted Tenants Act it could not be dealt with under that Act.
