(3) Every order made by the Minister under this section shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas as soon as may be after it is made, and if a resolution is passed by either such House within the next subsequent twenty-one days on which that House has sat after such order is laid before it annulling such order, such order shall be annulled accordingly but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done under such order.
Grants in relation to dwelling-houses.
3.—(1) Where, in the opinion of the Minister, a dwelling-house in the Gaeltacht is wholly unsuitable for the proper and healthy accommodation of the occupier thereof and his family, the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the occupier of such dwelling-house a grant (in this Act referred to as a building grant) towards the erection, on the site of such dwelling-house or on another site, of a new dwelling-house in substitution for such first-mentioned dwelling-house.
(2) Where, in the opinion of the Minister, a dwelling-house in the Gaeltacht is on account of its small size or its lack of sanitary accommodation, ventilation, light, or other amenity or for any other reason unsuitable in its existing condition for the proper and healthy accommodation of the occupier thereof and his family and the Minister is satisfied that the condition of the dwelling-house is such that the expense of improvement can be economically incurred, the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the occupier of such dwelling-house a grant (in this Act referred to as an improving grant) towards the improvement or extension of such dwelling-house.
Grants in relation to poultry-houses.
4.—(1) Where a dwelling-house in the Gaeltacht either—

(b) is provided with accommodation ancillary thereto for domestic poultry, but such accommodation is, in the opinion of the Minister, wholly unsuitable or insufficient,
the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the occupier of such dwelling-house a grant (in this Act referred to as a poultry-house building grant) towards the erection of accommodation for domestic poultry, ancillary to such dwelling-house and, where any such accommodation already exists, in substitution therefor.
(2) Where the accommodation for domestic poultry ancillary to a dwelling-house in the Gaeltacht is, in the opinion of the Minister, unsuitable or insufficient, and the Minister is satisfied that the state of any structure providing such accommodation is such that the expense of improvement can be economically incurred, the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the occupier of such dwelling-house a grant (in this Act referred to as a poultry-house improving grant) towards the improvement or extension of such accommodation.
(3) Where a building grant has been sanctioned under this Act, the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the person to whom such building grant has been sanctioned either a grant (in this Act included in the expression poultry-house building grant) towards the erection of accommodation for domestic poultry or a grant (in this Act included in the expression poultry-house improving grant) towards the improvement or extension of accommodation for domestic poultry, ancillary to the dwelling-house towards the erection of which such building grant was sanctioned.
Grants in relation to piggeries.
5.—(1) Where a dwelling-house in the Gaeltacht either—
(a) is not provided with any accommodation ancillary thereto for pigs, or
(b) is provided with accommodation ancillary thereto for pigs but such accommodation is, in the opinion of the Minister, wholly unsuitable or insufficient,
the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the occupier of such dwelling-house a grant (in this Act referred to as a piggery building grant) towards the erection of accommodation for pigs, ancillary to such dwelling-house and, where any such accommodation already exists, in substitution therefor.
(2) Where the accommodation for pigs ancillary to a dwelling-house in the Gaeltacht is, in the opinion of the Minister, unsuitable or insufficient, and the Minister is satisfied that the state of any structure providing such accommodation is such that the expense of improvement can be economically incurred, the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the occupier of such dwelling-house a grant (in this Act referred to as a piggery improving grant) towards the improvement or extension of such accommodation.
(3) Where a building grant has been sanctioned under this Act, the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the person to whom such building grant has been sanctioned either a grant (in this Act included in the expression piggery building grant) towards the erection of accommodation for pigs, or a grant (in this Act included in the expression piggery improving grant) towards the improvement or extension of accommodation for pigs, ancillary to the dwelling-house towards the erection of which such building grant was sanctioned.
General provisions as to grants.
6.—(1) Every application for a grant under this Act shall be made to the prescribed officer of the Minister in the prescribed form and manner and shall state the prescribed particulars in relation to the person applying for the grant, the dwelling-house in respect of which the grant is applied for and the work proposed to be executed with the aid of the grant.
(2) A grant made under this Act may be paid in one instalment or in several instalments as the Minister shall in each case think proper and the Minister may require as a condition precedent to the payment of any such grant or any particular instalment thereof that it shall be shown to his satisfaction that the work towards which the grant was made or a specified proportion thereof has been executed.
(3) Where a building grant, a poultry-house building grant, or a piggery building grant is made towards the erection of a new dwelling-house or new accommodation in substitution for an existing dwelling-house or existing accommodation, the demolition of such existing dwelling-house or existing accommodation shall, unless the Minister otherwise directs, be deemed to be part of the work towards the execution of which the grant is made.
(4) Whenever the making of a grant to a person under this Act is sanctioned or the making of a loan to a person under this Act is certified for by the Minister and such person dies before the amount of such grant or such loan has been actually paid to him, the Minister may appoint any other person whom he may think fit to receive, subject to such conditions as the Minister may think fit to impose, such grant or loan or so much thereof as is then unpaid, and when any such appointment is so made, the grant or loan to which the appointment relates or the unpaid portion thereof shall be payable under this Act to the person so appointed in like manner in all respects as the same would have been payable to such first-mentioned person if he had not died.
Restriction on the making of grants.
7.—(1) No building grant or improving grant shall be made under this Act in respect of a dwelling-house in respect of which a grant out of public moneys is being or has at any time within seven years before the passing of this Act been made under any other Act of the Oireachtas or any British statute.
(2) No building grant or improving grant shall be made under this Act towards the erection or the improvement or extension (as the case may be) of a dwelling-house unless either—
(a) there is in existence or will be provided with the aid of a grant under this Act or otherwise accommodation for domestic poultry ancillary to and suitable and sufficient in the opinion of the Minister for such dwelling-house, or
(b) the Minister is of opinion that, having regard to all the circumstances, the occupier of such dwelling-house could not be expected to keep domestic poultry.
(3) No building grant or improving grant shall be made under this Act unless either—
(a) there is in existence or will be provided with the aid of a grant under this Act or otherwise accommodation for pigs ancillary to and suitable and sufficient in the opinion of the Minister for such dwelling-house, or
(b) the Minister is of opinion that, having regard to all the circumstances, the occupier of such dwelling-house could not be expected to keep pigs.
Loans in amplification of grants.
8.—(1) Whenever the Minister is satisfied that a person to whom he has made a grant under this Act is so circumstanced that he is not able to execute the work towards which such grant was made to him without further monetary assistance, the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made thereunder, issue to the Commissioners a certificate in the prescribed form that such person may be granted a loan under this Act of such sum, not exceeding the amount of such grant, as the Minister shall think proper and shall specify in such certificate.
(2) Whenever the Minister issues to the Commissioners a certificate under the foregoing sub-section, the Commissioners shall, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister for Finance under this section, make to the person named in such certificate a loan of the amount specified in such certificate and repayable to the Commissioners in accordance with the said regulations, with interest at such rate as may be fixed by the Minister for Finance.
(3) The Minister for Finance may make regulations in relation to all or any of the following matters, that is to say:—
(a) the issue of loans made under this section, including the issue of such loans in one or more instalments;
(b) the making of charging orders and the form of such orders;
(c) the repayment of such loans, including the time or times at which and the instalments in which such repayment is to be made;
(d) conditions for securing the due application of such loans to the purposes for which such loans are made.
Charging orders in relation to loans.
9.—(1) Whenever the Commissioners make a loan under this Act they shall, before actually advancing any portion of such loan, make an order (in this section referred to as a charging order) in accordance with regulations made by the Minister for Finance under this Act charging the amount of such loan and the interest thereon on the dwelling-house in relation to which the loan is intended to be made and on all premises held therewith by the same tenure or under the same tenancy, and every such order shall operate to charge the said loan as and when the same is actually advanced and the said interest on the said dwelling-house and other premises in favour of the Commissioners in priority to all other charges and incumbrances whether statutory or otherwise except rent or other incident of tenure and sums payable under the Land Purchase Acts or otherwise to the Irish Land Commission.
(2) A charging order shall be deemed to be a mortgage made by deed within the meaning of the Conveyancing Acts, 1881 to 1911, and the Commissioners shall be the mortgagees for the purposes of those Acts and shall accordingly have, in relation to every charging order, all the powers conferred by those Acts on mortgagees under mortgages made by deed.
(3) Whenever the Commissioners make a charging order they shall forthwith cause such order to be registered in the Registry of Deeds or the Land Registry (as the case may require) and no fee or other charge shall be payable for or in respect of such registration.
(4) A charging order affecting land registered in the Land Registry shall be registerable in that Registry as a burden affecting such land whether the person named in such order as the owner or the occupier of such land or as the recipient of the loan to which such order relates is or is not registered in the said Registry as the owner of such land.
(5) When land or a tenancy in land is put up for sale by the Irish Land Commission under any statutory power in that behalf vested in them, and such land or tenancy is subject to a charging order such land or tenancy shall be sold subject to the charge created by such charging order in addition to any other charge, incumbrance, or liability subject to which such land or tenancy is required by law to be sold.
Recovery of loans.
10.—(1) The amount for the time being due and owing, whether for principal or interest, to the Commissioners on foot of a charging order shall be a civil debt due to the Commissioners by the occupier for the time being of the premises charged by such charging order and shall (in addition to any other mode of recovery) be recoverable accordingly from such occupier by the Commissioners in any court of competent jurisdiction, without prejudice to the rights of such occupier, where he is not the person to whom the loan was made, against such person.
(2) In any proceedings by the Commissioners under this section or otherwise in any court of law to recover the amount or any part of the amount due, whether for principal or interest, on foot of a charging order, a certificate purporting to be sealed with the seal of the Commissioners and to certify the amount due on foot of such charging order shall, until the contrary is proved, be evidence that the amount so certified is so due and owing.
Limitations on the amounts of grants and loans.
11.—(1) The aggregate amount of the grants and loans to be made under this Act shall not exceed the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand pounds.
(2) The amount of an individual grant made under this Act shall not exceed—
(a) in the case of a building grant, the sum of eighty pounds, or
(b) in the case of an improving grant, the sum of forty pounds, or
(c) in the case of a poultry-house building grant or a piggery building grant, the sum of five pounds, or
(d) in the case of a poultry-house improving grant or a piggery improving grant, the sum of two pounds and ten shillings.
(3) In the making of building grants and improving grants the Minister shall give a preference to the occupiers of dwelling-houses in which the Irish language is habitually used as the home language of the household, and amongst occupiers of such dwelling-houses the Minister shall give a preference to the occupiers of dwelling-houses having the greater overcrowding, the worse sanitary conditions and the lower valuation under the Valuation Acts.
(4) So far as may be practicable having regard to the number and local distribution of the cases in which it appears to the Minister to be proper to make grants under this Act and to the foregoing provisions of this section, at least three-fifths of the moneys available for making grants under this Act shall be applied in making grants to occupiers of dwelling-houses situate in district electoral divisions in the Gaeltacht in which the valuation under the Valuation Acts of all hereditaments (other than hereditaments valued at more than twenty pounds) in the district electoral division when divided by the population of the district electoral division according to the census of 1926 yields a sum not exceeding twenty-one shillings.
Arrangements for joint purchasing.
12.—(1) The Minister may, if and so far as he thinks it expedient so to do, make, with the consent of the Minister for Finance, arrangements for facilitating the purchase by persons to whom grants are made under this Act of materials and fittings required by them for the execution of the works towards which such grants are made.
