Form and effect of vesting orders.

12.—(1) Every vesting order by which a local authority acquires any land shall be in the prescribed form, shall contain a map or plan of such land and shall be expressed and shall operate to vest such land in such local authority in fee simple free from incumbrances and all estates, rights, titles, and interests of whatsoever kind on a specified date not earlier than fourteen days after the making of such order and such local authority may enter on and take possession of such land on the date so specified.
|

(2) Notwithstanding anything contained in the immediately preceding sub-section of this section, where a local authority has acquired by a vesting order land which is subject, either alone or in conjunction with other land, to a purchase annuity, payment in lieu of rent, or other annual sum (not being merely a rent under a contract of tenancy) payable to the Irish Land Commission, such local authority shall become and be liable, as from the date on which such land is vested in them by such vesting order, for the payment to the Irish Land Commission of such annual sum or such portion thereof as shall be apportioned by the Irish Land Commission on such land as if such land had been transferred to such local authority by the owner thereof on that date.
|
|
| |
(3) If any person obstructs or interferes with the entry on or taking possession of any land under this section by a local authority, such person shall be guilty of an offence under this section and shall be liable on summary conviction thereof to a fine not exceeding twenty pounds or to imprisonment for any term not exceeding three months or, at the discretion of the court, to both such fine and such imprisonment.
