WILD BIRDS (Co. DUBLIN) ORDER, 1931.

ORDER BY THE MINISTER FOR JUSTICE.

WHEREAS it is enacted by sub-section (1) of section 7 of the Wild Birds Protection Act, 1930 (No. 16 of 1930), that the Minister for Justice may by order made on the application of the council of a county or a county borough, prohibit, for reasons stated in such application, the taking or destroying either generally or in any particular years or year in such county or county borough or any particular parts or part thereof of the eggs of any wild bird whatsoever or any particular kinds or kind of wild bird :

AND WHEREAS the council of the county of Dublin has applied to the Minister for Justice, because the birds concerned are, owing to the great increase in the number of egg collectors, subject to great persecution, to make an order prohibiting in each of the years 1932, 1933, 1934 and 1935 in the County of Dublin (including the islands of Lambay and Ireland's Eye) the taking or destroying of the eggs of any of the wild birds mentioned in the First and Second Schedules to the said Wild Birds Protection Act, 1930 :

NOW I, JAMES FITZGERALD-KENNEY, Minister for Justice, in exercise of the powers conferred on me by section 7 of the Wild Birds Protection Act, 1930 (No. 16 of 1930), and of every and any other power me in this behalf enabling, do hereby, because the birds concerned are, owing to the great increase in the number of egg collectors, subject to great persecution, order as follows :—

1. This Order may be cited for all purposes as the Wild Birds (County Dublin) Order, 1931.

2. The Interpretation Act, 1923 (No. 46 of 1923), applies to the interpretation of this Order in like manner as it applies to the interpretation of an Act of the Oireachtas.

3. No person shall in any part of the county of Dublin (including the islands of Lambay and Ireland's Eye) take or destroy in the years 1932, 1933, 1934 and 1935, the eggs of any of the wild birds mentioned in the First and Second Schedules to the Wild Birds Protection Act, 1930 (No. 16 of 1930).
