HC Deb 17 April 1917 vol 92 cc1521-2W
Mr. O'DONNELL

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether Mr. Malone, of Lough Dingle, county Kerry, was declared an evicted tenant many years ago and thus entitled, under the Evicted Tenants Act, to have a farm provided for him; whether he is still unprovided for; and when it is proposed to do something for him?

Mr. DUKE

Michael Malone's mother lodged an application with the Estates Commissioners in 1903 for reinstatement in a holding in the Townland of Ardbeg on? the Hickson estate formerly occupied by her late husband. The holding is in the possession of another tenant and Mrs. Malone's name was provisionally noted for consideration in the allotment of untenanted land. On subsequent inquiry it was ascertained that the applicant's husband had been ejected on title on expiration of a ten years' lease, and the Commissioners decided not to take any further action in the matter of her application.
