Local Government (Dublin) Act, 1930

Continuance of bye-laws, etc.

8.—(1) Every bye-law, rule, and regulation lawfully made by any of the abolished bodies and in force immediately before the appointed day shall, on and after that day and so far as it is not inconsistent with this Act, continue in force and have effect as a bye-law, rule, or regulation (as the case may be) made on the appointed day by the successor of such abolished body for the residue then unexpired of the period and in respect of the area for and in respect of which the same was actually made by such abolished body, and accordingly every such bye-law, rule, and regulation may be continued, varied, or revoked and penalties and forfeitures arising thereunder on or after the appointed day may be recovered and enforced by such successor in the like manner and as fully as the same could have been continued, varied, revoked, recovered, or enforced by such abolished body if this Act had not been passed.

(2) No bye-law, rule, or regulation in force in the Existing City immediately before the appointed day shall apply or be extended to the area of an added urban district merely by virtue of the inclusion of such area in the City by this Act, but the City Council may at any time by resolution extend and apply any such bye-law, rule, or regulation to the area of either or both of the added urban districts, and, upon any such extension being so made, any bye-law, rule, or regulation continued in force in such area by this section which is inconsistent with the bye-law, rule, or regulation so extended shall cease to have affect in such area.
