ACQUISITION OF LAND (REFERENCE COMMITTEE) BILL, 1925—FIRST STAGE.

I ask leave to introduce the Acquisition of Land (Reference Committee) Bill, 1925. This is a one-clause Bill intended to make provision for the reconstitution of the Reference Committee established by the Acquisition of Land (Assessment of Compensation) Act, 1919. Under that Act, where land is authorised to be acquired compulsorily by any local authority, any question of disputed compensation is required to be determined by the arbitrator appointed by the Reference Committee provided under the Act. The Committee, as reconstituted, will be the same as that provided for under Section 20 of the Courts of Justice Act, namely, the Chief Justice of the Irish Free State, the President of the High Court and the Chairman of the Surveyors' Institution.

Leave given to introduce Bill; Second Stage fixed for Friday, 15th instant.
