PUBLIC HEALTH (IRELAND) ACT 1878 - SECT 230

As to regulations of district council.

230. Where the occupier by whom any private improvement rate is paid holds the
premises in respect of which the rate is made at a rent not less than the
rackrent, he shall be entitled to deduct three-fourths of the amount paid by
him on account of such rate from the rent payable by him to his landlord, and
if he hold at a rent less than the rackrent he shall be entitled to deduct
from the rent so payable by him such proportion of three-fourths of the rate
as his rent bears to the rackrent; and if the landlord from whose rent any
deduction is so made is himself liable to the payment of rent for the premises
in respect of which the deduction is made, and holds the same for a term of
which less than twenty years is unexpired (but not otherwise), he may deduct
from the rent so payable by him such proportion of the sum deducted from the
rent payable to him as the rent payable by him bears to the rent payable to
him, and so in succession with respect to every landlord (holding for a term
of which less than twenty-three years is unexpired) of the same premises both
receiving and liable to pay rent in respect thereof:

Provided, that nothing in this section shall be construed to entitle any
person to deduct from the rent payable by him more than the whole sum deducted
from the rent payable to him.
