Power to regulate and control export of agricultural products.
2.—(1) If any country to which any agricultural product is usually exported from Saorstát Eireann establishes any system of restriction or control of the import of that agricultural product into that country from Saorstát Eireann the Minister may by order (in this Act referred to as an export order) regulate and control the export of that agricultural product to that country from Saorstát Eireann in such manner as appears to him to be calculated to secure for exporters from Saorstát Eireann the maximum benefit permitted by the said system of restriction and control so established by such country and in particular may, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing provision, by such order provide for all or any of the following matters, that is to say:—
(a) for the registration of persons engaged in exporting such product to such country;
(b) for the control and restriction of the export of such product to such country from Saorstát Eireann;
(c) for requiring registered persons to export to such country during any specified period or periods a specified quantity of such product not exceeding the quantity such persons respectively undertake to export during such period or periods;
(d) for regulating and controlling any alternative export to such country which may for the time being be permitted;

(3) Every order made 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 annulling such order is passed by either such House within the next subsequent twenty-one days on which that House has sat after such order is so laid before it, such order shall be annulled accordingly, but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done under such order.
Powers of the Minister to purchase, export and sell agricultural products.
3.—(1) Whenever an export order regulating and controlling the export of any agricultural product to a particular country is in force, the Minister after consultation with the Minister for Finance may, if he considers it desirable in the public interest so to do, from time to time purchase, sell and export to such country such quantities of such product as he thinks fit.
(2) Any moneys received on any sale under this section shall be paid into or disposed of for the benefit of the Exchequer in such manner as the Minister for Finance shall direct.
(3) The Minister may in any export order provide that where he incurs expense under this section by reason or in consequence of the failure of any person to do any specified thing which such person is authorised or required by or under such order to do, the Minister may recover such expense from such person as a simple contract debt and the Minister may by such order provide that a certificate of the Minister shall be conclusive evidence of the incurring of such expense and of the amount of such expense.

(2) The provisions, relating to the control and restriction of the export of any agricultural product, contained in an export order shall have effect as though those provisions were included in the Customs Consolidation Act, 1876, and that Act and any Act amending or extending that Act shall apply accordingly, and if any agricultural product the export of which is prohibited by such order is exported in contravention of such order or is brought to any quay or other place for the purpose of being so exported or is waterborne to be so exported, the exporter or his agent shall be liable to the same penalty as that to which a person is liable under section 186 of that Act for illegally importing prohibited goods.
Consultative Councils.
5.—(1) The Minister shall, whenever and so often as he thinks fit with the consent of the Minister for Finance and after consultation with such bodies and persons as he may consider most representative of the several interests concerned, establish by order a consultative council for giving advice and assistance to him in relation to such matters (being matters relating to or concerned with the making, revoking, and amending of export orders) as he may specify in such order.
(2) A consultative council established under this section shall consist of such persons having experience or special knowledge of the matters on which such council may give advice or assistance to the Minister as the Minister, after such consultation as aforesaid, shall from time to time nominate to be members thereof.
