LAND LAW (IRELAND) ACT 1881 - SECT 18

Letting for labourers cottages not to be within the restrictions of Act.

18. Any person prohibited under this Act from letting or sub-letting a holding
may, after service of the prescribed notice upon the landlord, with the
sanction of the court, and with power for the court to prescribe such terms as
to rent and otherwise as the court thinks just, let any portion of land in a
situation to be approved by the landlord, or failing such approval to be
determined by the court, with or without dwelling-houses thereon to or for the
use of labourers bona8 fide employed and required for the cultivation of the
holding, and such letting shall not be deemed to be a sub-letting within the
meaning of this Act, or to be a letting prohibited by this Act; and
notwithstanding such sub-letting the tenant shall for the purposes of this Act
be deemed to be still in occupation of the holding.

Provided that the land comprised in each letting shall not exceed half an acre
in extent, and that where the holding contains not more than twenty-five acres
of tillage land, the number of such lettings shall not exceed one, and that
where the holding contains more than twenty-five acres of tillage land, but
not more than fifty acres of such land, the number of such lettings shall not
exceed two; and so in proportion to the acreage of tillage land in the holding
after fifty acres.
