Vol. 15 No. 2

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - KILDARE EVICTED TENANT.

asked the Minister for Lands and Agriculture if he is aware that Thomas Dunne, of Mooretown, Kilcullen, Co. Kildare, was evicted in the year 1899 from a farm of twelve acres on the estate of Sir Kildare Borrowes, of Barretstown Castle, Blessington, and situate at Tippeenan, Co. Kildare, and if it is the intention of the Land Commission to put Mr. Dunne in possession of an economic holding.

Mr. HOGAN

The Land Commission received in 1908 an application from John Dunne in which he stated that he had been evicted from a holding in 1889. As the application was not lodged before the date (1st May, 1907) specified in the Evicted Tenants Act, it could not be dealt with under that Act. Thomas Dunne's application, however, for a parcel of land has been noted.
