IRISH LAND ACT 1903 - SECT 21

Regulations as to turbary on holdings.

21.(1) In the case of the sale of an estate where portion of a holding
consists of bog, and the purchaser had not an exclusive right of turbary
before such sale, the Land Commission may make regulations, authorising the
cutting or making of turf on that bog by any occupiers of land in the
neighbourhood of the said holding for whose requirements such turf appears to
be necessary, upon such terms, as to payment or otherwise, as may appear to
them to be just, and those regulations may confer a right to enter upon any
land for the purpose aforesaid.

(2) Regulations under this section shall secure that the cutting or making of
turf will not prevent the future reclamation of the bog, and that sufficient
turf and pasturage will be left for the use of the proprietor of the holding
for a reasonable period.

(3) Regulations under this section shall provide that any person entering upon
any land under their authority shall make reasonable amends and satisfaction
for any damage done or occasioned thereby.

(4) Any regulations under this section may provide for the punishment of any
breach of them by a fine not exceeding five pounds, recoverable in a summary
manner.
