Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1887

Town parks.

44 & 45 Vict. c. 49.

9. A holding shall not be deemed to constitute a town park, though within the definition of the expression “town parks” in section fifty-eight of the Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1881, if it is let and used as an ordinary agricultural farm, and may, in the opinion of the court, be included in the operation of the last-mentioned Act without substantially interfering with the improvement or development of the city or town to which it belongs, or the accommodation of the inhabitants thereof.

A town park shall not cease to be within the exemption contained in section fifty-eight of the Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1881, by reason only of the occupier ceasing to live in the city or town to which it belongs, or in the suburbs thereof, or by reason only of such town park devolving upon or becoming vested in a person not living in such city or town or in the suburbs thereof.

A parcel of land shall not come within the said exemption by reason only of the occupier coming to live in the city or town, or the suburbs thereof, or by reason only of the same devolving or being vested in a person living in such city or town, or the suburbs thereof.
