(2) That where a percentage is stated in the third column of the Schedule to this Resolution opposite the mention of any article in the second column of that Schedule, such statement shall be construed as meaning a rate of duty equal to that percentage of the value of such article.

(3) That wherever it is stated in the fourth column of the Schedule to this Resolution that the provisions of Section 8 of the Finance Act, 1919, shall apply to a duty mentioned in that Schedule, the provisions of the said Section 8 shall apply to that duty with the substitution of the expression "Saorstát Eireann" for the expression "Great Britain and Ireland" and as though the articles chargeable with the said duty were included in the Second Schedule to the said Finance Act, 1919, in the list of goods to which two-thirds of the full rate is made applicable as a preferential rate.

(4) That subject to the provisions of the next preceding paragraph of this Resolution, the provisions (if any) set forth in the fourth column of the Schedule to this Resolution at any reference number in that Schedule shall have effect in respect of the duty mentioned at that reference number.

(6) That if any person does any act (whether of commission or omission) which is a contravention of a condition imposed by the Revenue Commissioners under this Resolution he shall be guilty of an offence under the Customs Acts and shall, for each such offence, incur a penalty of £50 and any article liable to duty in respect of which such offence is committed shall be forfeited.

(7) It is hereby declared that it is expedient in the public interest that this resolution shall have statutory effect by virtue of the provisions of the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act, 1927 (No. 7 of 1927).
