ORDER BY THE MINISTER FOR FINANCE, DATED THE 12th DAY OF DECEMBER, 1923, DETERMINING THE MODE OF COLLECTING FEES FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE CENSORSHIP OF FILMS ACT, 1923 .

WHEREAS it is enacted by Sections 2 and 3 of the Public Offices Fees Act, 1879, as adapted by the Adaptation of Enactments Act, 1922 , that the fees payable in any public office shall be collected either in money or by means of stamps, or partly in one way and partly in the other way, according as may be from time to time directed by Order of the Minister for Finance, and that he may regulate and determine the use of impressed or adhesive stamps:

And whereas it is enacted by Section 11 (1) of the Censorship of Films Act, 1923 , that fees shall be charged in respect of applications to the Official Censor of Films, and the granting or refusal by him of certificates, and in respect of other acts done by him in the execution of his duties under the Act:

Now therefore I, Earnán de Blaghd, being the Minister for Finance of Saorstát Eireann, do hereby order, in pursuance of the powers conferred on me by the above enactments, that all the fees prescribed to be charged in respect of the aforesaid acts of the Official Censor shall be collected by means of stamps impressed on the application or other document, and that any such application or other document which is not properly stamped in accordance with the above provision shall be treated as invalid.

And I do further order that the impressed stamps to be used may, until otherwise directed, be denoted by the General Duty Dies in the possession of the Revenue Commissioners impressed on the application or other document used and that the said Commissioners shall keep accounts of all moneys received by them in respect of fees under the Censorship of Films Act, 1923 , and any Orders made thereunder.
