S.2 rep. by SRO (NI) 1973/285

PUBLIC PARKS (IRELAND) ACT 1869, AMENDMENT ACT 1872 - SECT 3
Power to sell superfluous land.

3. Where [a district council] acting under the authority of the
Public Parks (Ireland) Act, 1869, have acquired any estate or
interest in any land for the purpose of establishing a public park
or public parks, they may at any time within five years after the
completion of such park or parks sell and dispose of their estate
and interest in any portion of such land which was not required
for such public park or public parks. The same shall be sold by
public auction for the best price that can be obtained for the
same.

Notice of every such intended sale of lands shall be given by [the
council] by advertisement in each of three consecutive weeks in some
newspaper circulated within such [district].

Where any such lands are subject to any fee-farm or other rent
[the council] selling and disposing of their estate and interest in
any portion of such lands under the authority of this Act may sell
and dispose of such portions freed and discharged from, and
indemnified against, all liability on account of such fee-farm or
other rent, or any part of same, but subject to the payment to
such [council] of such annual sum as they may think fit, being not
less than the amount which would be payable in respect of such
portion in case the rent payable in respect of all the lands
subject to such fee-farm or other rent were apportioned between such
portion and the residue of such lands: Provided always, that nothing
herein contained shall in any manner be construed or taken to free
the said portion of land so sold from liability to the owner of
the said fee-farm or other rent in respect of the same or any
part thereof.

The consideration for every such sale, and all annual sums payable
in respect of any lands sold as aforesaid, shall be paid to such
[council], and shall be applied by them, in the first instance, in
payment of all moneys (if any) borrowed [for the purposes of the
said Act] which shall then remain unpaid, and then to all or any
of the purposes to which the rate or fund out of which the
expenses incurred in acquiring the lands sold have been defrayed is
applicable.

Provided always, that [the council] shall not, under the authority
of this Act, sell any greater portion of the lands purchased by
them for the purpose of establishing a public park than one fourth
part of such lands.
