Grant and renewal of certificate of registration.
|
3.—(1) The registrar shall forthwith give notice of such application, where the club is situate in the Dublin Metropolitan Police District, to a superintendent of police of that District, and, where the club is situate elsewhere in Ireland, to the district inspector of the Royal Irish Constabulary, and, if no objections are taken as hereinafter provided, the court shall, if satisfied that the application has been duly made as aforesaid and that the rules of the club are in conformity with the provisions of this Act, grant the application.
|
|
| |
(2) It shall be competent for such superintendent of police or district inspector of the Royal Irish Constabulary, on receiving such notice, and for any person resident in the parish in which the club premises are situate, to lodge objections to the grant or renewal of the certificate on any of the grounds of objection specified in this Act. Such objections shall be lodged by the objectors with the registrar within ten days of the receipt or publication of the notice of application, and at the same time a copy of the objections shall be sent by them to the secretary of the club applying for the grant or renewal of a certificate.
|
|
| |
(3) The court shall, as soon as may be, hear parties upon the application and objections, and may order such inquiry as it thinks fit, and thereafter shall grant or refuse the application. Upon the grant of any such application the court shall cause the entries required by this Act to be made in the register, and thereupon the registrar shall issue to the applicant, in or as nearly as may be in, the form set out in the Second Schedule annexed hereto, a certificate of registration. Such certificate so issued shall, subject to the provisions of this Act, remain in force for a period of twelve months from the date of issue.
|
|
| |
(4) The court shall have power to order costs and expenses to be paid by the unsuccessful party, where objection has been taken to the granting or renewal of a certificate, in like manner as in any case of summary jurisdiction where an order is made for payment of money not being in the nature of a penalty for an offence.
|
|
| |
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act as to the duration of a certificate, where a renewal has been applied for, the current certificate shall remain in force pending the final decision of the court, but not exceeding three months, unless the court shall in its discretion extend such time to a further period not exceeding three months.
|
|
| |
(6) A club failing to make application for renewal of a certificate, by the date at or previous to which such application must in terms of this Act be made, shall not be granted such renewal unless the court is satisfied that such failure was due to inadvertence.
|
|
| |
(7) A club may make application for a certificate of registration at any time after the first day of November one thousand nine hundred and four and before the commencement of this Act, and no club which has made such application shall be deemed to be an unregistered club pending the final decision of the court on such application, and any application so made shall for the purposes of this section be deemed to have been made on the first day of January one thousand nine hundred and five.
