Irish Land Act, 1909

Expenses of improvements by Land Commission on land sold by landlord to tenant.

30.(1) Where the Land Commission deem it expedient to expend any money on the improvement of a holding sold or agreed to be sold by a landlord to a tenant, they may, in accordance with regulations to be made by the Treasury, enter into an agreement with the tenant for the repayment of the money so expended in the same manner as if such money was advanced under the Land Purchase Acts for the purchase of the holding, and the said money shall be repaid by an additional annuity accordingly.

(2) So far as circumstances admit the additional annuity shall, in accordance with regulations to be made by the Treasury, be consolidated and made payable with the purchase annuity.

(3) Regulations made by the Treasury may provide that, where the repayment of any money expended by the Land Commission is secured by an additional annuity under this section, the National Debt Commissioners may advance to the Land Commission the said money for repayment to the reserve fund if that fund has not been exhausted, and, if that fund has been exhausted, for repayment to the Exchequer.
