|
(b) go gcuirfear ar an bPrímhChiste no ar a thora fáis Muirear colna agus úis aon urraíochtaí a tabharfar amach chun iasachtaí d'fháil fén Acht san. |
(b) the charge upon the Central Fund or the growing produce thereof of the principal and interest of any securities issued for the purpose of borrowing under such Act. |
This resolution is meant to cover the two charges on the Central Fund, for which provision is made in Clause 11 of the Bill. The first charge is that referred to in sub-clause (1) and sub-clause (5) of Clause 11. The second charge refers to sub-clause (8) of Clause 11. The first charge provides for the meeting of advances to the total amount of £5,210,000, which may be required to finance the scheme generally. These advances from the Central Fund are to be paid into a separate fund to be established for the purposes of the scheme. All the financing of the scheme will be directed to the Central Fund, the amount of which will be kept in detail so as to afford a clear understanding of the financial standing of the scheme. The second charge relates to such borrowing as the Exchequer may have to incur in order to find the sums required by the separate fund. The principal and interest on securities created for the purpose of such borrowing must be charged on the Central Fund, and the present provision is consequently rendered necessary.
