PUBLIC HEALTH (IRELAND) ACT 1878 - SECT 45

Power of district council to enforce provision of privy accommodation for houses.

45. If a house within the district of a [district council] appears to such
[council] to be without sufficient watercloset, earthcloset, or privy
accommodation, and a properly constructed ashpit, the [district council]
shall, by written notice, require the owner or occupier of the house, within a
reasonable time therein specified, to provide sufficient watercloset,
earthcloset, or privy accommodation, and an ashpit constructed as aforesaid,
or either of them, as the case may require.

If such notice is not complied with, the [district council] may, at the
expiration of the time specified in the notice, do the work thereby required
to be done, and may recover in a summary manner from the owner the expenses
incurred by them in so doing, or may by order declare the same to be private
improvement expenses: Provided, that where a watercloset, earthcloset, or
privy has been and is used in common by the inmates of two or more houses, or
if in the opinion of the [district council] a watercloset, earthcloset, or
privy may be so used, they need not require the same to be provided for each
house.
