(2) Any person to whom a special exemption order has been granted shall, if and so long as he complies with the conditions upon which the same has been granted, be exempt during the time to which such order applies from any penalty for contravention of the provisions of this Act relating to prohibited hours in respect of the premises to which the order relates but not from any other penalty under this or any other Act.

(4) A special exemption order shall not be granted unless the applicant therefor has, not less than forty-eight hours before making the application, served upon the officer in charge of the Gárda Síochána for the licensing area a notice of his intention to apply for the order, setting out his name and address and the place, occasion, and time for which the order is sought.
