|
Acquisition and substitution of land compulsorily for the purpose of street improvements. |
1.—(1) Where the right honourable the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of Dublin (in this Act referred to as “the Corporation”) require to purchase land under the Public Health (Ireland) Acts, 1878 to 1919, for the purpose of widening, opening, enlarging, extending or otherwise improving streets in the City of Dublin in connection with the reconstruction of areas, streets, houses or buildings destroyed or damaged in the course of the recent disturbances, they may be authorised to purchase the land compulsorily by means of an order submitted to the Minister and confirmed in accordance with the Schedule to this Act. | |
(2) Any such order may for the purpose of enabling the Corporation to widen an existing street authorise the Corporation to acquire compulsorily any lands (hereinafter called “the acquired lands”) more remote from such street than the premises actually fronting upon the street, and such order may provide that when the acquisition of the acquired lands is completed, the respective interests in the lands (hereinafter called “the intervening lands”) situate between the street and the acquired lands shall cease to attach to the same and shall attach instead to the lands (including the necessary portions of the acquired lands) exactly corresponding in area, lay out, and situation with relation to the new frontage of the widened street and any street intersecting or intersectedby the same, which last-mentioned lands are hereinafter called the “substituted lands.” | ||
(3) As from the coming into operation of the said order with reference to the respective interests in the intervening lands, every grant, conveyance, and assurance relating to any portion of the intervening lands and every interest, legal and equitable, in the same shall affect the corresponding portion of the substituted lands as if such portion were the land originally dealt with in such grant, conveyance, or assurance, or affected by such interest. | ||
(4) Every order made under this section shall be registered in the proper office for the registration of deeds or titles, as the case requires, in such manner as may be prescribed. | ||
(5) The procedure under this section for the compulsory purchase of land shall be substituted for the procedure for the compulsory purchase of land under section two hundred and three of the Public Health (Ireland) Act, 1878. |
