(2) This section shall remain in force for two years from the passing of this Act and (unless continued by order under this section) no longer.

(3) The Executive Council may from time to time by order made while this section remains in force (whether by virtue of the foregoing sub-section or of an order under this sub-section) continue this section in force for any period not exceeding one year from the day on which this section would have expired but for such order, and whenever any such order is so made this section shall continue in force accordingly.

(4) Every order made under this section shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas as soon as may be after it is made and if either such House shall, within the next subsequent twenty-one days on which that House has sat after such order is laid before it, pass a resolution annulling such order such order shall be annulled accordingly but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done under such order.
