Special Committee Dairy Produce Bill, 1924 díospóireacht

SECTION 6.

6.—(1) Any person on whom a notice is served by an inspector under this part of this Act (other than a notice only requiring any premises, plant, machinery, appliances, or utensils to be cleansed) shall, on payment of the prescribed fees, be entitled to have such notice referred in the prescribed manner to the arbitrator.

(2) It shall be the duty of the arbitrator to whom the matter of a notice is referred under this section to inquire into and determine in the prescribed manner the matter of such notice, and to confirm, with or without any addition, omission, or amendment, or to annul such notice in such manner as justice may require.

(3) When the matter of a notice is so referred to the arbitrator, the notice shall be deemed to be suspended until the matter is determined by the arbitrator, but if the notice is confirmed by the arbitrator, whether with or without any addition, omission, or amendment, the notice as so confirmed shall take effect as if it had been duly served under this Act on the date of such confirmation.

Deputy MILROY

I move:—

In sub-section (1), lines 9-11, to delete the words " (other than a notice only requiring any premises, plant, machinery, appliances, or utensils to be cleansed)."

It is possible for inspectors to make mistakes. I had a case brought to my notice where a manager had sand near his premises for the purpose of making concrete, and the inspector mistook it for sweepings. That, probably, is unusual. But there are possibilities even in regard to those matters which I propose to delete. I propose that these words be deleted, and that the right to refer to the arbitrator shall not be limited as it is by the section as it stands.
