Public Assistance (Acquisition of Land) Bill, 1934—Message from the Seanad.

The following message has been received from the Seanad:

Ní sheasuíonn Seanad Eireann ar Leasú I do rinné sé ar an mBille um Chongnamh Puiblí (Tailte do Thógaint), 1934 agus dar dhiúltaigh Dáil Eireann, ach. in ionad san, tá sé tar éis an leasúithe seo leanas do dhéanamh ar an mBille, le n-ar main aontú Dháil Eireann d'fháil.

Seanad Eireann does not insist on Amendment I made by it to the Public Assistance (Acquisition of Land) Bill, 1934, with which Dáil Eireann has disagreed, but, in lieu thereof, has made the following amendment to the Bill, to which the agreement of Dáil Eireann is desired.

Section 7. Paragraph (d) deleted and two new paragraphs substituted therefor as follows:—

"(d) when a public local inquiry has been held pursuant to the next preceding paragraph of this section and the person by whom such inquiry was held reports that the acquisition of the lands proposed to be taken would seriously interfere with the amenity of the residence of the owner of such lands, the Minister shall refuse to confirm such compulsory acquisition order;

(e) when a public local inquiry has been held in pursuance of paragraph (c) of this section and the person by whom such inquiry was held does not report that the acquisition of the lands proposed to be taken would seriously interfere with the amenity of the residence of the owner of such lands, the Minister, having considered the report of the person by whom such inquiry was held and the objection or all the objections which occasioned the holding of such inquiry (other than an objection that the acquisition of such lands would seriously interfere with the amenity of the residence of the owner of such lands), may, as he shall think proper, either refuse to confirm such compulsory acquisition order or make an order confirming such compulsory acquisition order without modification, or make an order confirming such compulsory acquisition order with such modifications as the Minister shall think proper."

We propose not to accept this amendment from the Seanad. If there is no objection the matter could remain over until to-morrow.

In view of the fact that the Deputy who is particularly concerned with this question is not here, I think it might be allowed to stand over until to-morrow.

Agreed.
