LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) ACT 1870 - SECT 10

Exception in case of lands required for labourers cottages.

10. Any landlord may, after six months notice in writing, to be served upon
the tenant, or left at his house, resume possession from a yearly tenant of so
much land (not to exceed in the whole one twenty-fifth part of any individual
holding), as he may require for the bona fide purpose of erecting thereon one
or more labourers cottages, with or without gardens attached, and such
resumption of land shall not, unless the Court shall be of opinion that same
was unreasonable, be deemed a disturbance of the tenant within the meaning of
this Act, and shall not subject the landlord to any claim for compensation,
except in respect of improvements, beyond an abatement of rent proportionate
to the annual value of the land so taken by the landlord.
