Cold-storing of bacon.
|
105.—(1) The Board may, whenever and so often as they think it proper so to do, by order (in this Part of this Act referred to as a cold-storage order) do the following things, that is to say:—
|
|
| |
(a) declare that of the total amount of bacon produced in all licensed premises during any specified period (other than bacon produced in and exported from such licensed premises during such period) a specified percentage shall be the appointed national percentage in respect of such period;
|
|
| |
(b) require every licensee in respect of particular premises to put, before the expiration of such period, from such premises into a cold store a percentage of the bacon produced in such premises during such period (other than bacon produced in and exported from such licensed premises during such period) equal to such appointed national percentage unless the said percentage of such bacon does not exceed twenty hundredweights.
|
|
| |
(2) The Board may by order at any time revoke or amend a cold-storage order.
|
|
| |
(3) Every cold-storage order shall be published in the Iris Oifigiúil as soon as may be after it is made.
|
|
| |
(4) If the licensee in respect of any premises fails or neglects to comply with the obligations imposed on him in relation to such premises by a cold-storage order, such licensee shall be guilty of an offence under this section and shall be liable on summary conviction thereof to a fine calculated at the rate of ten shillings for every hundredweight by which the amount of bacon put, during the period to which such cold-storage order relates, from such premises into a cold store falls short of the quantity of bacon required by such cold-storage order to be put during such period from such premises into a cold store.
