What is the reason for notifying the Land Commission and the Revenue Commissioners if charges arise from land annuity claims?
SECTION 12.
Question proposed: "That section 12 stand part of the Bill."
In what circumstances would the Land Commission compulsorily acquire land?
If a river needs to be widened, etc.
Are swallow holes considered in this regard? Does it need permission to open a swallow hole and clear it up?
Yes.
I thought it could go in after 24 hours' notice.
Going on land and acquiring it are two separate situations.
I presume that going on land means carrying out works on it.
The Commissioners may, as regards land which has been compulsorily acquired by them under the Principal Act, complete the acquisition of such land by making an order under this section — referred to as a vesting order — in relation to the land. This subsection permits the Commissioners when acquiring land under the Principal Act to do so by means of a vesting order. The making of a vesting order shall not prejudice the right of any person to compensation under the Principal Act in respect of the land to which the order relates, or the application by virtue of section 11 of the Land Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, in relation to that matter. The landowner whose land has been acquired by vesting order is entitled to be paid compensation and the provisions of the Land Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, shall apply to the determination of payment of that compensation. This covers a situation where the land is being acquired. The other situation was going on land to deal with an emergency, but not necessarily acquiring it.
I presume it will not be necessary to acquire the land for necessary drainage works or opening swallow holes if there is co-operation with the landowner.
That will not be necessary.
Question put and agreed to.
