The notional theoretical basis of tenure deriving from the Crown became particularly anomalous in the Republic of Ireland after the 1922 and later the1937 Constitutions. The 2009 Land Reform legislation abolished feudal tenure insofar as it survived.\u00a0 The legislation declares that estates and interests specified in the legislation are \u00a0the only ones recognized.\u00a0 No tenurial incidents apply.\u00a0 The old feudal legislation as far as they continue to exist was repealed.\u00a0 The rule against inalienability of freehold land was reasserted.<\/p>\r\n
