43.[1] The Lord Lieutenant may from time to time, with the consent of the Treasury as to number, appoint and by Order in Council remove assistant commissioners, who shall have the prescribed qualifications and hold office for the prescribed times.

The central office of the land commission shall be in Dublin, but they may hold sittings in any other part of Ireland.

The land commission may form sub-commissions in any province, particular district or districts of Ireland, and such sub-commissions shall consist of such number of the said assistant commissioners or of a commissioner and one or more assistant commissioners as the land commission may think fit, and the land commission may delegate to any sub-commission such of the powers, except as to appeals, by this Act conferred upon the land commission, as they think expedient, and may from time to time revoke, alter, or modify any powers so delegated to a sub-commission.

[1The powers of delegation conferred on the Land Commission under these sections do not apply to the discharge of duties under the Land Purchase Acts. 54 & 55 Vict. c. 48. s. 30.]
