Poor Relief (Ireland) Act, 1838

After completion of any workhouse the commissioners may order the provisions of former Acts to cease.

45. When the commissioners shall have declared any workhouse of any union to be fit for the reception of destitute poor, it shall be lawful for them, if they shall so think fit, to direct that so much of the provisions of all general and local Acts made before the passing of this Act in any way relating to the relief of poor in workhouses, houses of industry, and foundling hospitals, which shall have vested in the said commissioners under the provisions of this Act, or to any presentment, tax, or contribution in respect of such relief, shall, as regards such union, cease and determine.
