Irish Land Act, 1909

Proposals for purchase by Estates Commissioners.

42.(1) The Estates Commissioners may make proposals and enter into negotiations for the purchase, under section six of the Act of 1903, of any estate not situated in a congested districts county, notwithstanding that an application has not been made to them by the owner under that section.

(2) For the purpose of enabling the Estates Commissioners to ascertain the boundaries, extent, and character of any congested estate or untenanted land which they propose to purchase and to estimate the price to be offered for the same, any inspectors or other persons appointed by the Commissioners may, after notice sent by post to the person who appears to the Commissioners to be the owner thereof, enter upon the estate or untenanted land and make all such inquiries and do all such things as may be necessary for the purpose aforesaid.
