Go ndeontar sum Bhreise ná raghaidh thar £950 chun íoctha an Mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31adh lá de Mhárta, 1935, chun Costaisí Ilghnéitheacha áirithe, maraon le Deontaisí áirithe i gCabhair.
That a Supplementary sum not exceeding £950 be granted to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1935, for certain Miscellaneous Expenses, including certain Grants-in-Aid.
The necessity for this Supplementary Estimate arises from a considerable increase in the volume of work that the official arbitrators have had to do in connection with the assessment of compensation in cases arising under the Acquisition of Lands (Compensation) Act of 1919, as a result mainly of the number of compulsory purchase orders made by local authorities under the Housing of the Working Classes and Labourers Acts. The Act of 1919 provides that all questions relating to disputed compensation for land acquired compulsorily by any Government department shall be referred to one of the panel of official arbitrators appointed under the Act. This panel of arbitrators is appointed by a Committee of Reference, consisting of the Chief Justice, the President of the High Court, and the Chairman of the Surveyors' Institute. The terms of remuneration and conditions of service are settled by agreement with the Minister for Finance and the Committee of Reference. Under the pressure of business to which I have referred, it has been necessary, in addition to the arbitrator who acted for a number of years past, to appoint two additional arbitrators upon a part-time basis.
