STATUTORY RULES AND ORDERS. 1934. No. 129.

THE WILD BIRDS (CITY OF DUBLIN) ORDER, 1934.

WHEREAS by sub-section (3) of section 2 of the Wild Birds Protection Act, 1930 , it is enacted that the Minister for Justice may by order made on the application of the council of a county or a county borough prohibit, for special reasons stated in such application, the killing or taking in such county or county borough of any particular kinds of wild birds during any particular period in every year (other than and in addition to the close time under the said Act, namely, the period between the 1st day of March and the 31st day of July, both days inclusive, in any year) :

AND WHEREAS by sub-section (1) of section 7 of the said Act the said Minister may by order made on the application of the council of a county or a county borough prohibit, for reasons stated in such application, the taking or destroying in such county or county borough of the eggs of any particular kinds of wild birds :

AND WHEREAS wild birds and their eggs have had, under the said Act, for some time in the County of Dublin the protection intended to be given by this Order, but by reason of the extension of the boundaries of the City of Dublin by the Local Government (Dublin) Act, 1930 (No. 27 of 1930), certain areas formerly in the County of Dublin have become included in the City of Dublin and have thereby lost the said protection previously enjoyed as aforesaid :

AND WHEREAS the Right Honorable the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses of Dublin have applied to the Minister for Justice for an order under the said provisions of the Wild Birds Protection Act, 1930 , restoring the said protection to the said areas so included in the City of Dublin and extending, such protection to the whole of the said City because the reasons for which such protection was originally afforded to the said areas still apply thereto and because the said reasons apply with equal force to the remainder of the said City and orders heretofore made under the said Act in relation to the said City do not fully accomplish the purposes indicated by the said reasons :

NOW, THEREFORE, I, P. J. Ruttledge, Minister for Justice, in exercise of the powers conferred on me by the said sections 3 and 7 of the Wild Birds Protection Act, 1930 (No. 16 of 1930), and of every and any other power me in this behalf enabling and for the reasons advanced as aforesaid by the Right Honorable the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of Dublin, do hereby order as follows :—

1. This Order may be cited for all purposes as the Wild Birds (City of Dublin) Order, 1934.

2. The Interpretation Act, 1923 (No. 46 of 1923), applies to the interpretation of this Order in like manner as it applies to the interpretation of an Act of the Oireachtas.

3. The killing or taking of goldfinches, bullfinches, linnets, redpolls, siskins, skylarks, sea-larks or terns (of any kind) is prohibited in the City of Dublin from the 1st day of August to the 1st day of December, both days inclusive, in every year.

4. No person shall take or destroy, within the City of Dublin, the eggs of any of the wild birds mentioned in the First Schedule or the Second Schedule to the Wild Birds Protection Act, 1930 (No. 16 of 1930).

Given under my Seal of Office this 25th day of April, 1934.

Minister for Justice.
