4. When any person interested in the execution of any work which might be executed under the Fishery Piers Act pays to the Commissioners of Public Works one-fourth part of the cost of such work as estimated by the Commissioners, they may, with the consent of the Treasury, publish in the Dublin Gazette or otherwise, as they shall think fit, a notice of their intention to undertake such work, which notice shall be instead of, and shall have all the force and effect of the final notice mentioned in the sixteenth section of the Fishery Piers Act.

Before publishing such notice the Commissioners may, if they think fit, do any matter or thing, and shall have and may if they think fit exercise any right, power, or authority in connexion with such work which they might do or would have with reference to any of the proceedings preliminary to the publication of the final notice mentioned in the Fishery Piers Act if the work were undertaken in strict compliance with the said Act.

The provisions contained in the following sections of the Fishery Piers Act, that is to say, section four, sub-section four, section five, and sections ten to fifteen, both included, relative to proceedings preliminary to the publication of such notice, shall not apply to any such work.
