34.—(1) Where a cottage provided by the council of a county under the Labourers Acts is let to a tenant who is an agricultural labourer within the meaning of the said Acts because:— | |
(a) he is normally engaged in doing agricultural work on the land of a relative, and | ||
(b) he resided with that relative when he applied for, or became tenant of, such cottage, | ||
such council shall not prepare a purchase scheme under the Labourers Act, 1936 (No. 24 of 1936) in relation to such cottage so long as such tenant is an agricultural labourer only because he is normally engaged in doing agricultural work on the land of a relative. | ||

(b) where such cottage ceases to be occupied by any such tenant, | ||
the council of a county may, and shall if the Minister so directs, prepare and submit to the Minister a purchase scheme under the Labourers Act, 1936 (No. 24 of 1936) in relation to such cottage. |
