(a) where such notice is addressed to such person by name, by delivering it to such person;

(c) by sending it by post in a prepaid registered letter addressed to such person at the address at which he ordinarily resides;

(d) where the address at which such person ordinarily resides cannot be ascertained by reasonable inquiry and such notice is so required to be given in respect of any land or premises, by delivering it to some person over sixteen years of age resident or employed on such land or premises or by affixing it in a conspicious position on such land or premises.

(2) Where a notice is required by this Act or by a planning scheme to be given to the owner or to the occupier of any land or premises and the name of such owner or of such occupier (as the case may be) cannot be ascertained by reasonable inquiry, such notice may be addressed to “the owner” or “the occupier” (as the case may require) without naming him.

(3) For the purposes of this section, a company registered under the Companies Acts, 1908 to 1924, shall be deemed to be ordinarily resident at its registered office, and every other body corporate and every unincorporated body shall be deemed to be ordinarily resident at its principal office or place of business.
