HC Deb 14 December 1916 vol 88 cc913-4W
Mr. BOLAND

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that the Fuller estate, Cappagh, near Cahirciveen, county Kerry, is now vested in the Congested Districts Board; and whether, in view of the replies made to the hon. Member for South Kerry on 20th March and 12th August, 1913, steps will now be taken to carry out the necessary improvements, including the construction of a branch road adjoining the holding of Thomas Stretton?

Mr. DUKE

The Fuller estate is now vested in the Congested Districts Board, who intend to proceed with the preparation of the estate for resale as soon as their commitments in connection with other estates permit. The Board do not contemplate making a road for the accommodation of Thomas Stretton, who is in occupation of a holding over £10 Poor Law valuation. They contemplate making a bog road to give access to the surplus turbary on Stretton's holding and the adjacent holdings of two other tenants named Connell and Clifford. The road will be planned in a manner which will be a convenience to Stretton and other landholders, as well as to the persons obtaining turbary from the bog.
