Acquisition of land compulsorily by Authority.

5.—(1) The Authority may be authorised to acquire compulsorily land situated in the Custom House Docks Area (other than land to which section 6 applies) for the purpose of performing any of the functions assigned to it by or under the Principal Act by means of a compulsory purchase order made by the Authority and submitted to and confirmed by the Minister in accordance with section 76 of the Housing Act, 1966 , and the Third Schedule thereto.
