(a) tuigfar gur dhin an cumann san aisíoc na bhfiach sa tslí a foráltar leis an Acht so do chur mar mhuirear ar chaipital na bhfiach-scaireanna san;
(b) faid a bheidh aon chuid de sna fiacha gan íoc déanfidh an cumann, tré oiread so an galún do bhaint as praghas an bhainne a cheannóidh sé o shealbhóir na bhfiach-scaireanna san no i pé slí eile a shocróidh sé pé méid do ghlaoch isteach gach bliain dá mbeidh an uair sin gan glaoch isteach do chaipital na bhfiachscaireanna san, is gá chun soláthar do dhéanamh chun suim na tráthchoda de sna fiacha agus an úis ortha a bheidh dlite an bhliain sin d'íoc leis an gCuideachtain;

Diúltú do scaireanna do ghlaca i gcumann.
9.—(1) I gcás ina mbeidh sé ceangailte ar chumann leis an Acht so no fé, no le có-aontú a dleathuítear leis an Acht so, scaireanna do thabhairt amach d'éinne agus ina dtabharfa sé na scaireanna san amach don duine sin dá réir sin agus ina ndiúltóidh an duine sin no ina leigfe sé thairis na scaireanna san no cuid de sna scaireanna san do ghlaca, ní bheidh sé dleathach don chumann san aon tsoláthar bainne do ghlaca ón duine sin faid a leanfidh an diúltú no an fhaillí sin.
(2) Má ghlacann cumann soláthar bainne o éinne contrárdha don alt so beidh an cumann san ciontach i gcionta fén alt so agus ar a chiontú ann ar an slí achmair dlighfar fíneáil ná raghaidh thar deich bpuint do chur air agus ina theanta san fíneáil eile nách mó ná dhá phunt in aghaidh gach lá a leanfidh an cionta.
Soláthar bainne o scaireánach i gcumann eile.
10.—(1) I gcás ina mbeidh sé ceangailte ar chumann leis an Acht so no fé, no le có-aontú a dleathuítear leis an Acht so, scaireanna do thabhairt amach d'éinne agus ina dtabharfa sé na scaireanna san amach dá réir sin, ansan, pe'ca ghlacfidh an duine sin na scaireanna san no ná glacfidh, ní bheidh sé dleathach d'aon chumann eile, gan aontú na Roinne i scríbhinn, aon tsoláthar bainne do ghlaca ón duine sin.
(2) Má ghlacann cumann soláthar bainne o éinne contrárdha don alt so beidh sé dleathach don Roinn fógra i scríbhinn do sheirbheáil tríd an bpost ar an gcumann san á cheangal ar an gcumann san scur de sholáthar bhainne do ghlaca ón duine sin agus má dhineann an cumann san, tar éis seacht lá o sheirbheáil an fhógra san do bheith caithte, soláthar bainne do ghlaca ón duine sin beidh an cumann san ciontach i gcionta fén alt so agus ar a chiontú ann ar an slí achmair dlighfar fíneáil ná raghaidh thar deich bpuint do chur air agus ina theanta san fíneáil eile nách mó ná dhá phunt in aghaidh gach lá a leanfidh an cionta.
(3) Nuair is deimhin leis an Roinn, maidir le héinne dar thug cumann fiach-scaireanna amach fé údarás alt 5 den Acht so, go mbeadh sé fé aon éagcóir no cruatan nea-réasúnta tré bhainne do sholáthar no tré leanúint de bhainne do sholáthar don chumann san, féadfidh an Roinn a údarú d'aon chumann eile soláthar bainne do ghlaca ón duine sin.
(4) Aon chumann a bheidh údaruithe ag an Roinn soláthar bainne do ghlaca o dhuine dar thug cumann eile fiach-scaireanna amach fén Acht so dlighfe sé pé cuid a shocróidh an Roinn de sna fiacha gur tugadh na fiach-scaireanna san amach ina n-aghaidh d'íoc leis an gCuideachtain agus déanfar laigheadú dá réir sin ar an méid de sna fiacha san a bheidh ag an gCuideachtain fós ar an gcumann do chuaidh fé sna fiacha san.

(6) Féadfidh cumann a gheobhaidh soláthar bainne fé údarás na Roinne mar a socruítear le fo-alt (3) den alt so agus déanfidh an cumann san má cheanglann agus nuair a cheanglóidh an Roinn air é scaireanna is fiú punt an ceann do réir a n-ainmluacha do thabhairt amach don té o n-a bhfachtar an soláthar san, pé méid acu a dheimhneoidh an Roinn do bheith chó mór ar fad do réir a n-ainmluacha, á n-áireamh go dtí an punt is goire, leis an méid a bheidh gan glaoch isteach de sna fiach-scaireanna gur dineadh ina thaobh fiachas an duine sin do chur ar nea-mbrí do réir fo-alt (5) den alt so.
Deire leis an teora atá le seilbh scaireanna.
11.—D'ainneoin éinní atá san Industrial and Provident Societies Act, 1893, no i rialacha cumainn, féadfidh ball den chumann san leas scaireanna is mó ná dhá chéad punt do bheith aige sa chumann, má bhíonn agus sa mhéid go mbeidh an bhreis sin aige do bharr scaireanna do bheith aige do thug an cumann san amach fén Acht so no dá réir no fé aon chó-aontú a dleathuítear leis an Acht so.
Féadfidh cumainn dul in urrús ar chumainn eile.
12.—Pé uair a bheidh an Roinn tar éis aon airgead do thabhairt ar iasacht do chumann pe'ca roimh rith an Achta so é no dá éis sin, beidh comhacht ag aon chumann eile agus, i gcás aon airgid do tugadh ar iasacht amhlaidh roimh rith an Achta so, tuigfar go raibh comhacht riamh aige dul in urrús ar aisíoc an airgid sin leis an Roinn.

(5) I gcás ina leathnófar gnó uachtarlainne tré shaghas, tré bhrainse no tré roinn ghnótha uachtarlainne ná beidh ar siúl san uachtarlainn sin an uair sin do chur leis, tuigfar chun crícheanna an ailt seo gur uachtarlann ar leithligh an saghas, an bhrainse, no an roinn ghnótha san agus bainfidh an t-alt so leis dá réir sin.
(6) Chun crícheanna an ailt seo tuigfar uachtarlann do bheith á bunú ag duine nuair a osclóidh an duine sin an uachtarlann san chun gnó uachtarlainne do dhéanamh inti.

(2) Féadfidh an tAire, más oiriúnach leis é, ceadúnas chun uachtarlann áirithe le n-a mbaineann an t-alt so do chimeád ar siúl do dheona d'éinne fé réir pé coiníollacha (más ann dóibh) a luadhfidh an tAire sa cheadúnas san.
(3) Má chimeádann éinne uachtarlann ar siúl contrárdha don alt so beidh sé ciontach i gcionta fén alt so agus ar a chiontú ann ar an slí achmair dlighfar fíneáil ná raghaidh thar céad punt do chur air agus ina theanta san fíneáil eile nach mó ná cúig puint fhichead in aghaidh gach lá a leanfar den chionta.
(4) Baineann an t-alt so le haon uachtarlainn gur dineadh, an ladh lá d'Eanair, 1928, no dá éis sin, agus roimh rith an Achta so, í d'oscailt den chéad uair chun gnó uachtarlainne do dhéanamh inti no í d'ath-oscailt chun gnó uachtarlainne do dhéanamh tar éis tréimhse ina raibh an gnó san gan bheith á dhéanamh inti agus baineann sé fós le haon uachtarlainn gur leathnuíodh a gnó, an 1adh lá d'Eanair, 1928, no dá éis sin, agus roimh rith an Achta so, tré shaghas, tré bhrainse no tré roinn ghnótha uachtarlainne ná raibh ar siúl san uachtarlainn sin an uair sin do chur leis.

21. Gach gníomh no rud a bheidh de bhua na scríbhinne seo ceangailte ar na Díoltóirí do dhéanamh no do chólíona, tuigfar chun crícheanna an chó-aontuithe seo gur dhineadar no gur chólíonadar é má dhin no má chólíon Scaoilteoir na Cuideachtan é.

9. Críochnófar an ceannach an lá de

11. Más rud é, tré n-a theip ar an gCumann Ceannuitheach aon cheann de sna coiníollacha so do chólíona, ná beidh an ceannach críochnuithe ar an dáta a socruítear chun a chríochnuithe, beidh cead ag na Díoltóirí an díol leis an gCumann Ceannuitheach do chur ar neamh-ní agus an soláthar bainne sin d'athdhíol; déanfidh an Cumann Ceannuitheach cúiteamh sa chailliúint (más ann di) a thiocfidh as an ath-dhíol san agus sna costaisí uile a bhainfidh leis agus íocfa sé an céanna mar dhamáiste shocruithe, agus aon mhéadú ar an bpraghas de bharr an ath-dhíola san beidh sé dá gcuid féin ag na Díoltóirí.
12. Gach gníomh no rud a bheidh, de bhua na scríbhinne seo, ceangailte ar na Díoltóirí do dhéanamh no do chólíona, tuigfar chun crícheanna an chó-aontuithe seo gur dhineadar no gur chólíonadar é má dhin no má chólíon Scaoilteoirí na gCuideachtan no na Cuideachtan é.
