Educational Endowments (Ireland) Act, 1885

Scheme to be approved by Order in Council.

When to be laid before Parliament.

27. If, at the expiration of the time for a petition to the Lord Lieutenant in Council praying that a scheme be laid before Parliament, no such petition has been presented, it shall be lawful for the Lord Lieutenant by Order in Council to declare his approbation of such scheme without the same being laid before Parliament.

If any such petition has been presented, the Lord Lieutenant shall, as soon as may be, cause the scheme to be laid before both Houses of Parliament; and after it has lain two months before Parliament, then, unless within such two months a resolution has been adopted by one or other of the said Houses disapproving of such scheme or any part thereof, it shall be lawful for the Lord Lieutenant by Order in Council to declare his approbation of such scheme, or any part thereof to which such resolution does not relate.

A scheme, when approved by the Lord Lieutenant in Council, shall have full operation and effect from the date of such Order in Council, in the same manner as if it had been enacted in this Act, and thereupon every Act of Parliament, letters patent, statute, deed, instrument, trust, or direction relating to the subject matter of the scheme, so far as inconsistent with the provisions thereof, shall be repealed and abrogated.
